Setting it apart from a standard hotel experience, The Darling will feature a butler service, room service catered by one of the hotel’s gourmet restaurants, an infinity pool and bespoke fittings for that extra touch.

The Star Entertainment Group Managing Director Queensland Geoff Hogg said the “premium” product would compliment the existing, newly renovated Star Hotel.

“This will be next level,” he said.
