Vanitas restaurant at Palazzo Versace Gold Coast has been awarded One Hat at the
prestigious 2017 Brisbane Times Good Food Guide awards on Monday evening.
Vanitas (Italian for ‘vanity’) is renown as a top restaurant on the Gold Coast and has been
awarded with an impressive list of accolades since it opened its doors over 15 years ago.
The ever evolving seasonal menu presented by Chef de Cuisine Dayan Hartill-Law embraces
sustainability
and promotes local produce; a philosophy the team at Vanitas have introduced
since reopening their doors with a fresh new-look in February this year.
Chef Dayan was humbled to retain One Hat on behalf of Vanitas, “I think that our team has
accomplished a lot of great things in such short time, I'm looking forward to growing and
encompassing all that is the Gold Coast together and to continue to ensure our guests’
experiences are above and beyond expectations.”
Dayan defined his skills in the kitchens of 3 hatted restaurant Quay in Sydney and 2 Michelin
Star Restaurant Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in London.
Sommelier Megan Cox shares her wealth of wine knowledge gained from previous roles at
Rockpool and Spice Temple in Sydney, managing a 400-strong list of international and
Australian wines at Vanitas.

many engagements, birthdays, weddings, bespoke events and wine makers dinners.

About Palazzo Versace Gold Coast
Palazzo – the definition of luxury, glamour and sophistication. In Milan, Italy, the Palazzo
Versace is the home of Versace, one of the most legendary brands in the world. When it
came to opening the first ever fashion hotel, there was only one possible name: Palazzo
Versace.
Palazzo Versace Gold Coast is everything you would expect in a hotel from the world of
Versace: a waterfront setting, spectacular architecture, Italian furnishings, extraordinary
service and an ambience of pure glamour. It is the home to three award winning restaurants,
a famed day spa, Fitness & Wellbeing Centre, private marina, Versace Boutique, meeting and
event facilities and Australia’s first Water Salon cabana.
Acclaimed as Australia’s premier leisure destination, the Gold Coast is renowned for its
glorious sub-tropical climate and cosmopolitan enjoyment of life. Nestled between the
beautiful Pacific Ocean and the sparkling Gold Coast Broadwater, the hotel offers an exclusive
chance to be immersed in the opulent Versace lifestyle.
Palazzo Versace’s selection of award-winning restaurants set the standards in cuisine and
dinning, from their signature restaurant, Vanitas, providing guests with an extraordinary
gastronomic encounter, and Vie Bar + Restaurant showcasing contemporary flavours in a
distinctive, stylish space overlooking the Gold Coast Broadwater, to sophisticated casual
dining in II Barocco Restaurant famed for its lavish seafood buffet and classical dishes. In
addition to the three acclaimed restaurants, Palazzo Versace also boasts two ultimately chic
bars including Le Jardin, where you can try the latest season’s cocktail or relax with a tea or
coffee and high tea within a beautiful setting.
Each of the 200 light-filled bedrooms and suites are crafted with bespoke Versace Home
furnishings. Luxurious fabrics, colourful silks, floor-to-ceiling windows and a ‘Juliet’ balcony
inviting the Gold Coast sunshine and azure skies to pour in. It is a place of pure indulgence,
true glamour, ultimate relaxation and the very best that is possible in life.
