Queensland’s popular coastal town of Noosa is set to welcome a sophisticated luxury hotel experience this December following the transformation of Sofitel Noosa.

Elysium Noosa Resort on Hastings Street will feature a revamped accommodation, dining and wellness offering targeting discerning global travellers. A sister property to Manly Pacific, which was awarded UNESCO’s acclaimed Prix Versailles in 2024, Elysium Noosa Resort will be managed by Accor, as part of its MGallery Collection. All 175 hotel rooms and suites will be redesigned by Melbourne-based interior architecture design studio, Mitchell and Eades.

Each guest room and suite will be designed as an elegant retreat with its own spacious balcony or terrace. The oceanfront Elysium Suite will feature a private plunge pool and sweeping views, Prestige Suites will overlook the pool towards Noosa’s famed Main Beach, while Poolside Junior Suites will offer private cabanas. A selection of Wellness Suites will offer a private infrared sauna, terrace spa, and bespoke concierge service to enable personalised wellness rituals – from reformer pilates and Peloton workouts to yoga practice.

“We wanted to create a destination with global appeal – a new style of luxury for the region where Noosa’s essence is reimagined through a European lens,” said Mitchell and Eades’ Principal, Hayley Mitchell. “It was important that the guest rooms feel truly of place, with subtle nods to Noosa’s coastal lifestyle; from classic stripes and rattan to premium linens.

“Artworks and playful design details add personality and character to create a uniquely sophisticated coastal experience that speaks to both a young, active audience and those seeking indulgence with ease.” The food and beverage offering will include the coastal-inspired Bar Capri and an Italian dining experience, Cibaria, delivered by award-winning restaurateurs Alessandro and Anna Pavoni, marking their first interstate opening.

“This transformation is far more than a rebrand – it’s a landmark evolution of one of Noosa’s most treasured hotels, a true legacy for the region,” said Elysium Noosa General Manager, Mark Wilkinson.
