South of Brisbane lies Australia's popular resort destination, the Gold Coast. Finding a hotel is not going to be a problem here as there are so many to choose from, however, News.com.au makes it easier with a roundup of favorites.

Definitely one of the top picks is the Hilton Surfers Paradise with its Beach Valet.

"The Hilton Beach Valet transports gear to and from the beach, sets up umbrella, supplies chairs and delivers cold drinks, ice creams and snacks," says News.com.au.

For a "funky retro vibe," visitors should seek out the QT Gold Coast.

"QT Gold Coast exudes a fresh, fun vibe with its retro seaside theme. Staff greet guests in board shorts and cockatoo-shaped bedside lamps set the tone in the funky rooms," says News.com.au.

When it's all about the beach, head to the Sheraton Mirage Resort & Spa.

"The only Gold Coast hotel located right on the ocean beach, the Sheraton Mirage Resort & Spa is nestled in palm gardens around a lagoon between the Pacific Ocean and the calm Southport Broadwater," says News.com.au.

And visitors definitely won't want to miss its Golden Door Spa.
