The Star Gold Coast has recruited one of Queensland’s most experienced tourism and hospitality leaders as the iconic Broadbeach property continues its jaw-dropping transformation.
With one $400 million hotel and apartment tower less than a year from completion, and another to open in 2024, the iconic integrated resort has welcomed Mark Hodge as its new General Manager for Hotels and Residences.
Currently a Board Member and Director of Destination Gold Coast and the Chairman of the Accommodation Association of Australia’s Queensland State Advisory Board, Mark comes with three decades of industry experience, including the last 15 years with Mantra Group and Accor Hospitality.
In his most recent role as Senior Vice President of Operations, Mark managed around 5000 team members across 140 properties throughout Australia and the broader Pacific – including New Zealand and Hawaii – within Accor Hospitality’s Apartments and Leases portfolio.
The Star Gold Coast COO Jessica Mellor said Mark will oversee The Star Gold Coast’s existing hotels – The Star Grand and The Darling – as well as establishing the operations model for the property’s new short stay apartment pool.
