Jupiters Hotel & Casino has started on its $345 million redevelopment with a new lick of paint on the exterior.

When complete, the redevelopment will include a new 6-star luxury hotel tower featuring private balcony infinity pools, contemporary restaurants and bars.

The sepia exterior is being transformed with over 12,000 litres of “Grand Piano Quarter” white paint applied over 8000 hours, the first time the building has been painted since its construction.

Echo Entertainment Group’s managing director Queensland, Geoff Hogg, said Jupiters is a landmark building on the Gold Coast and its look was integral to the city’s skyline.

“We chose a fresh, modern look to ensure Jupiters continues to play an integral role in making this beautiful city a must-see destination,” he said.

A team of abseiling painters, attached to the roof floor with anchor points, will work on the tiered, ocean side of the building.

“With all developments, there comes some short term disruption but we promise the end result will be well worth it,” he said.

The refurbishment of the existing 592-room hotel and early works on the new 6-star luxury hotel tower will commence within the next 12 months.

“Echo Entertainment Group is committed to creating a world-class integrated resort, which will boost tourism and one which locals will be proud of,” Hogg added.
