The Coral Hue started as a tired 1970s motel on Hastings Street. Hannah and Patrick Doyle bought it in 2015, spent a year renovating, and opened with twelve rooms in 2016. Ten years later it's a 28-room boutique hotel — but the approach hasn't changed.
Patrick built the reception desk, the rooftop bar, and most of the furniture. Mia sources from farms within an hour's drive. Liam knows the regulars by name. It's a small team, and they've been here for years.
The hotel is a five-minute walk from Noosa Main Beach, and a minute from the national park entrance. The rooftop has a pool, a bar, and a view that makes first-time guests stop talking for a moment. It's a small thing, but it matters.
