A popular coastal resort is getting a major overhaul with upgraded rooms, enhanced wellness offerings and gourmet dining.

Sofitel Noosa, on iconic Hastings Street, is transforming into Elysium Noosa Resort.

The revamp, to be officially unveiled in December, will see all 175 hotel rooms and suites reimagined by Melbourne-based interior architecture and design studio Mitchell and Eades.

Celebrated restaurateurs Alessandro and Anna Pavoni will also debut their first interstate opening, bringing award-winning Italian dining experience Cibaria to Queensland, alongside coastal-inspired Bar Capri.

The pinnacle will be the oceanfront Elysium suite, featuring a private plunge pool and sweeping views.

Each of the hotel’s rooms and suites will come with its own balcony or terrace.

Meanwhile, the wellness suites are expected to set a new benchmark for how luxury and wellbeing intersect in Australian hotels.

Each wellness suite will offer a private infrared sauna, terrace spa and bespoke concierge service to support personalised wellness rituals.

Mitchell and Eades principal Hayley Mitchell said the changes would bolster the resort.

“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,” she said.

“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.”

Elysium Noosa general manager Mark Wilkinson said the transformation was “far more than a rebrand”.

“It’s a landmark evolution of one of Noosa’s most treasured hotels, a true legacy for the region,” he said.

Elysium Noosa is the sister property to Manly Pacific and will be managed by Accor as part of the MGallery Collection of luxury hotels.
