Platinum's Mondrian Lounge offers guests a luxury experience
A partnership between Platinum and Mondrian marks an evolution in the private aviation experience in Aus/NZ, bringing together luxury travel, hospitality and seamless aircraft handling in one refined environment.
Mondrian is bringing hotel-inspired elements to the design.

Platinum Business Aviation Centre has entered into a landmark partnership with Mondrian Gold Coast, part of the Mondrian network of hotels, to launch the Mondrian Lounge at Platinum, the first collaboration between a luxury hotel brand and an FBO anywhere in Australia or New Zealand.

Located within Platinum Business Aviation Centre's award‑winning private aviation terminal at Gold Coast airport, the Mondrian Lounge at Platinum will transform the pre‑flight experience for private aviation guests, blending Platinum Business Aviation Centre's premium aviation services with Mondrian's globally recognised hospitality and design.

The partnership marks a significant evolution in the private aviation experience in the region, bringing together luxury travel, hospitality and seamless aircraft handling in one refined environment.

The new lounge will feature: a hotel‑inspired lounge environment designed in collaboration with Mondrian Gold Coast; a private, calm space for passengers and crew before departure or after arrival; and a hospitality experience aligned with the standards of a world‑class luxury hotel.

General manager of Platinum Business Aviation Centre Joe Stenning says the collaboration sets a new benchmark for private aviation facilities in the region: “The introduction of the Mondrian Lounge at Platinum represents a new era for the private aviation experience in Australia. By partnering with Mondrian Gold Coast, we are bringing together world‑class aviation services and world-renowned luxury hospitality to create something truly unique for our guests. This is the first time in Australia or New Zealand that an FBO and a luxury lifestyle hotel brand have collaborated in this way, and we're proud to lead that innovation from the Gold Coast.”

The partnership reflects the continued growth of the Gold Coast as a premium international destination and further strengthens Platinum's reputation as one of the leading private aviation facilities in the Asia Pacific region.

Co-managing partner of Vitale Property Group and co-owner of Mondrian Gold Coast Letitia Vitale adds that the collaboration aligns naturally with the hotel's DNA and philosophy. “Mondrian is synonymous with culture, design and elevated lifestyle experiences. Partnering with Platinum allows us to extend that philosophy directly into the private aviation journey,” she states.

The Mondrian Lounge at Platinum is expected to become a signature arrival and departure point for VIP travellers, aircraft owners, charter guests and international visitors arriving on the Gold Coast.
