The addition of private pool cabanas and a new bar herald the beginning of the transformation of the Jupiters Hotel and Casino on the Gold Coast.

Osteria Vivo and Entwine restaurants will close later this month for refurbishment.

The casino, hotel, five restaurants and seven bars, theatre and conferencing facilities will remain operational during this construction and refurbishment period.

Managing Director Queensland Geoff Hogg said the redevelopment is being managed to ensure minimal disruption.

Hogg said, “With all developments, there comes some short term disruption but we promise the end result will be well worth it.

“Echo Entertainment Group is committed to creating a world-class integrated resort, which will boost tourism and one which locals will be proud of.

The refurbishment of the existing 592-room hotel and early works on the new 6 star luxury hotel tower will commence within the next 12 months.
