Rare triple listing at former Plazzo Versace including Brynne Edelsten weekender

Three luxury apartments have been listed inside the Gold Coast's most recognisable fashion-branded hotel including a former penthouse reportedly previously owned by late medical entrepreneur Geoffrey Edelsten in a single high-end offering.

Dr Edelsten previously used the top-floor apartment as a weekend retreat during his marriage to ex-wife Brynne.

He sold the property in 2015 for an undisclosed amount. Property records show the last recorded sale of the penthouse at 94 Seaworld Drive was in 2022 for $2,225 million.

A similar listing in the Five-Star Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, sold for $1,950 million.

The trio of residences are located within the five-star Imperial Hotel Gold Coast, formerly known as Palazzo Versace Gold Coast, at Main Beach overlooking the Southport Broadwater.

Three apartments, one prestige address

The listing comprises three separate two-bedroom apartments within the hotel. They can be purchased individually or as a complete tower.

Ground Floor Residence

- 2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 car spaces

- 13-metre marina berth

- Private pool and courtyard

Middle Floor Residence

- 2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 car spaces

- 18-metre marina berth

Top Floor Residence (Penthouse)

- 2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 car spaces

- 21-metre marina berth

- Private rooftop terrace with spa

Each residence includes marina frontage, with berth sizes increasing by level, appealing to luxury boating enthusiasts seeking direct Broadwater access.

The top-floor apartment, positioned on the prized north-east corner, is being sold fully furnished with its original Versace furniture package. It features light-filled interiors, European finishes and sweeping Broadwater and marina views.

A key drawcard is the exclusive rooftop entertaining terrace, a rare offering in the building complete with barbecue area, spa and open-air entertaining zones.

The ground-floor residence offers a different style of luxury, with a private pool and courtyard, while the middle-floor apartment pairs elevated views with an 18-metre marina berth.

Fashion-branded icon

Opened on September 15, 2000, the hotel was regarded as the world's first fashion-branded hotel. It features 200 rooms, 72 private apartments, a 600-seat ballroom, bars, restaurants and a Versace retail boutique.

The design and furnishings were overseen by the House of Versace in Milan, while the building was created by Gold Coast architect Desmond Brook of DBI Design.

Developer Soheil Abedian of Sunland Group previously said the vision was to create a hotel that fully embraced the Versace aesthetic, from architecture to interiors. Mr Abedian said "Gianni Versace was a lover of architecture in the first place, a person who used in his fashion all the elements of the Baroque style. ... Also, Versace was the only fashion house at the time that had a home collection and everything that a hotel needed from the porcelain to cutlery, pillows to fabric."

In 2023, Versace did not renew its branding agreement and from August 1 that year the property was rebranded as the Imperial Hotel.

Five-star waterfront living

Residents enjoy access to the hotel's five-star amenities, including manicured waterfront grounds, marina access, fine dining, bars and 24-hour room service.

The property sits moments from Main Beach, Marina Mirage and some of the Gold Coast's most popular dining and lifestyle destinations, offering a blend of resort living and private marina access rarely found in a single address.
