Some of the most eye-catching spots double as Candlelight venues on the Gold Coast, offering a richer take on the usual night of live music. Instead of simple stages and spotlights, these concerts unfold in inherently atmospheric locations where the room does as much work as the setlist. For instance, at the five-star Imperial Hotel, Italianate interiors and waterfront views give each tribute an added sense of occasion. And yet, these spaces are only one of the reasons why these performances have become one of the coast’s most sought-after plans.
