Hotels You Can Walk To From Gold Coast Airport (OOL)

Gold Coast, Australia

Gold Coast Airport has one of the shortest terminal-to-hotel walks anywhere. Rydges Gold Coast Airport sits directly opposite the terminal, and the operator measures the distance from domestic arrivals in paces rather than minutes: 56 of them to reception.

From the international side the same hotel is about a three-minute walk. There is no shuttle to book and no transfer window to plan around, which matters at an airport with a heavy load of early domestic departures.
