Ardo Hotel, Townsville

By Dubois, Building Design & Interior Architecture

Ardo Hotel is Townsville’s answer for high end luxury accommodation. Located in a stunning coastal pocket of tropical north Queensland, Ardo entices visitors with state-of-the-art design, beautiful accommodation options and world class amenities for a truly indulgent stay.

Melbourne architecture studio Dubois designed each of the 132 guest rooms and suites with a private balcony or courtyard, encouraging guests to relax in the tranquillity of the outdoor setting. Given the property’s exquisite location on the Townsville breakwater, a motivating factor in the design was to capitalise on the panoramic seaside views from each floor, treating guests to postcard sunset views every evening.

One of Ardo’s major drawcards is its infinity rooftop pool. Sun lounges stretch across an expanse of paved decking, letting guests bask in the sun while sipping on cocktails from the poolside bar and enjoying uninterrupted views of the sparkling Coral Sea. The pool deck was constructed with reinforced pedestal pavers and pool coping by Anston, in the charmingly cool white hues and exposed aggregate finish of Ironstone Bone.

Each private courtyard and outdoor terrace overlooking the ocean is similarly paved with Anston Bone pedestal pavers. These pedestal pavers include Anston’s signature safety feature for pedestal applications – a built-in reinforced mesh that prevents paver failure during impact loads, safeguarding users against potential falls.

Anston pedestal pavers offer safety, strength and durability in a beautiful concrete package. Their luxury concrete finish fits seamlessly into the palette of finely crafted architectural materials and designer furnishings that create the opulence and appeal of Ardo Hotel.

Founded in 2010, Dubois is a design-focused studio based in Melbourne, specialising in architecture and interior design.
