If you are planning your next holiday in Townsville, choose the Ardo Hotel and experience luxury. Learn why staying in the Ardo is an unforgettable experience.
Floating above the Coral Sea, with sprawling views to Magnetic Island, you must look closely to see where the infinity pool ends and where the ocean begins.
A new level of luxury arrived in Townsville with the opening in December 2023 of its first five-star hotel, Ardo.
Townsville is known for its sun-drenched days, and there is nowhere more perfect to spend them than on one of Ardo’s poolside sun lounges.
The hotel is the vision of Melbourne architect David Dubious and was inspired by its natural surroundings.

Luxurious features we love about the Ardo
From the pool, you’re so close to the ocean it feels like you could reach out and touch one of the boats bobbing below.
Adjacent to the pool is a beautiful rooftop bar. Beneath it are 132 rooms, two restaurants, and a day spa.
“We’re really proud of the restaurants, Marmor and Terasu; both are brand new, the teams are really passionate, and the feedback again has been so good,” Mr. Richardson said.
“The rooms are stunning; you miss a lot of the details because the view consumes much of your sight.”
I can attest to that.
The Ocean King Room was beautiful and spacious, with a huge wrap-around balcony and everything you could want for a high-end stay, and once again, the view stole the show.
For anyone looking for a local getaway or a memorable escape, Ardo is undoubtedly a destination worth visiting.
