The Hotel — Five-Star Living
Rising 42 storeys above the Pacific Ocean at 1 Crown Boulevard, Broadbeach, the Royal Reels tower is home to 324 meticulously appointed rooms and suites. Every room faces either the ocean or the hinterland, and floor-to-ceiling glazing ensures your view is never obscured.
Interior design by Sydney-based studio Arden & Marsh draws on the rich ochres and deep teals of the Australian landscape, blending organic textures — hand-woven linen, brushed bronze, Queensland blackbutt timber — with contemporary luxury. Our rooms begin at a generous 42 square metres and scale up to our 280-square-metre Penthouse Suite, which occupies the entirety of the 41st floor and features a private plunge pool, dedicated butler service, and panoramic 360-degree views of the coastline.
All guests enjoy complimentary access to the rooftop infinity pool, the Royal Fitness Centre, and preferred pricing across all dining venues. The hotel's dedicated concierge team — available around the clock — can arrange everything from private helicopter transfers and whale-watching excursions to exclusive dinner reservations at Noosa's finest restaurants.

Casino Royal Reels
Step into the crown jewel of Queensland gaming. Casino Royal Reels spans over 8,500 square metres of pure gaming elegance across two stunning floors at 1 Crown Boulevard, Broadbeach, QLD 4218. Whether you are a seasoned high-roller or a first-time visitor simply looking for a memorable evening, our casino floor has been designed to deliver an atmosphere unlike any other in Australia.
With over 380 gaming machines, 54 table games, and an exclusive high-limit lounge reserved for our most distinguished guests, Royal Reels sets a new standard for land-based gaming on the Gold Coast. Our croupiers are trained to the highest international standards, and our gaming floor operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The casino holds a current Queensland Gaming Commission licence and adheres strictly to the principles of responsible gambling.
"There is no place quite like it in the Southern Hemisphere — the atmosphere, the service, the sheer variety of games. Royal Reels is in a class entirely its own."
Real Slots — Hundreds of Machines Await
Our slot floor is home to more than 380 of the world's finest electronic gaming machines, from classic three-reel titles to the latest five-reel video slots with cinematic bonus features. Partnering with leading manufacturers including IGT, Aristocrat, and Konami, we refresh our machine lineup regularly to ensure our guests always have something new to discover. Denominations range from 1 cent to $25, catering to every type of player. Our dedicated Platinum Slots Lounge — accessible to Royal Reels rewards members — features premium machines with higher payouts, private seating, and complimentary beverage service throughout your session.
Live Dealer Games — The Real Casino Experience
Nothing replicates the energy of a live table game with a skilled, attentive dealer. Royal Reels offers an extensive live dealer floor featuring Baccarat, Sic Bo, Roulette (both European and American variants), three-card poker, and Casino War. Our live dealer area is open from noon until 4 am daily, with extended hours on weekends and public holidays. Private table reservations are available for corporate events and special occasions — contact our concierge team at least 48 hours in advance. The atmosphere is intimate yet electric, and every dealer undergoes rigorous training to ensure seamless, professional gameplay that puts guests at ease.
Blackjack — Master the Tables
Blackjack remains the most beloved card game in Australia, and at Royal Reels we take it seriously. We offer 14 dedicated Blackjack tables spread across our main floor and high-limit room, accommodating minimum bets from $10 up to $5,000 per hand. Standard rules apply — dealer stands on soft 17, blackjack pays 3:2, and double-down is permitted on any first two cards. For enthusiasts who prefer a faster pace, our Speed Blackjack tables deal continuous rounds with no waiting between hands. Monthly Blackjack tournaments with prize pools starting at $50,000 are open to all Royal Reels rewards members, and our free-to-attend strategy workshops are held every Sunday morning in the Jade Room.

Royal SPA — Sanctuary of the Senses
Descend to the third floor of the resort and leave the world behind. The Royal SPA encompasses 1,800 square metres of pure tranquillity, offering a complete menu of wellness therapies inspired by ancient Australian and Southeast Asian traditions.
Our signature treatment, the Gold Coast Dreaming, is a 120-minute immersive ritual that combines native Kakadu plum oil exfoliation, warm Uluru red clay body wrap, and a therapeutic hot stone massage — leaving skin luminous and the spirit deeply restored. The SPA features 16 private treatment suites, four couples' rooms, a traditional Finnish sauna, a salt therapy cave, and a hydrotherapy circuit including a cold plunge pool, hydro-jet baths, and a thermal vitality pool.
All treatments use exclusively Australian-sourced botanical products from our in-house range, Jarrah & Bloom, which can be purchased from the SPA boutique. Day spa packages are available to hotel guests and external visitors alike. Bookings are strongly recommended and can be made online or through the resort concierge.
Signature Rituals
Native botanical treatments crafted for total restoration — from 60 to 180 minutes
Hydrotherapy Circuit
Cold plunge, thermal vitality pool, hydro-jet baths — self-guided or therapist-led
Yoga & Meditation
Daily sessions in the ocean-view studio — sunrise, afternoon and sunset classes
Dining at Royal Reels
From a quick breakfast before hitting the casino floor to a five-course degustation with matched Australian wines, Royal Reels offers five distinct dining experiences under one roof — each with its own personality, menu philosophy, and atmosphere.
Our flagship restaurant, Reel & Vine, is located on Level 2 and is helmed by executive chef Isabelle Tran, formerly of Bennelong in Sydney. Chef Tran's menu celebrates Australian produce with French technique — think Moreton Bay bug risotto, Darling Downs wagyu with native pepper berry jus, and a Pavlova reimagined with Davidson plum and finger lime. Reel & Vine holds two hats in the Queensland Good Food Guide and seats 88 guests for dinner from 6 pm nightly.
For casual dining, the Pacific Terrace offers an all-day menu with ocean views, while the Gold Bar — open from 4 pm until 3 am — serves inventive cocktails alongside a curated selection of Queensland charcuterie, artisan cheeses, and hot bar snacks. The Gold Bar's cocktail list is changed quarterly and draws inspiration from iconic Australian landscapes, with drinks named for Kakadu sunsets, Byron Bay dawns, and the rolling red dunes of the Simpson Desert.
