Townsville’s first luxury hotel, Ardo is just weeks away from welcoming its first guests in December with Morris Group announcing reservations for Ardo openned on November 20.

From high-end accommodation across 132 rooms and suites, world-class dining, and a luxurious day spa to a stunning rooftop pool deck with postcard-worthy views across the Coral Sea, Ardo is set to redefine North Queensland’s hotel landscape.

Ardo and The Ville CEO Michael Jones said Ardo is one of the most highly anticipated hotel openings of the year for North Queensland.

“Ardo is unlike anything Townsville has ever seen, it is a luxurious offering that will elevate how visitors can experience this beautiful tropical region,” Mr Jones said.

“It is the perfect getaway for couples, families and friends, there truly is something for everyone and we can’t wait to welcome our first guests from mid-December.”

Guests will be able to choose from three different hotel room options including Courtyard, Marina or Ocean, with each room offering 33sqm of luxurious space and either a private balcony or courtyard to bask in the tropical breeze.

For those seeking something more spacious, a suite option is more akin to a stunning residence, ranging from 40sqm to 107sqm but with all the luxuries hotel rooms are known for. If a romantic escape is on the cards or perhaps some R&R, opt for the Ardo Suite that comes with a beautiful curved outdoor bath and daybed, or select a Corner or an Ocean Suite to enjoy a wrap-around balcony for outdoor dining.

A party of four, groups or families can double the holiday luxe thanks to interconnecting rooms – enjoy Family or Family Ocean Suites offering two bedrooms, bathrooms and balconies.

All rooms and suites are finished with cork floors paired with free-form concrete ceilings and bespoke bathrooms in terrazzo surfaces and mosaic tiles, complemented by make-up mirror, dual shower heads with rainfall shower and fluffy bathrobes. Plus enjoy high-tech inclusions such as a tablet control centre, WiFi, LCD television and streaming of all your favourite apps. The suites and rooms are complete with all of the five-star service inclusions you would expect, from a fully stocked gourmet mini bar, lavish in-room dining and first-class housekeeping - so you don’t have to lift a finger.

When it comes to dining, guests will be able to choose from three restaurant offerings, the biggest luxury multi-restaurant launch ever seen in Townsville, each designed to sit at the top of Queensland’s culinary experiences list. Marmor is inspired by the region’s world-class meat and seafood offerings with a focus on offering contemporary Australian cuisine, while the casual yet cool Japanese restaurant, Terasu, will present a lively take on traditional Japanese fare. The signature Ardo Rooftop, overlooking the stunning infinity pool and coral sea, is the perfect place to unwind and let your worries float away. Restaurants are strictly bookings only.

For those looking for some pampering, the Ardo Day Spa will launch a new level of resort-styled relaxation. Ardo guests will also be able to access The Ville precinct’s amenities (Morris Group’s neighbouring resort) which include the famous oceanside swimming pool with a swim-up bar, gym and casino.
