As purveyors of all-things cool, QT Gold Coast is kicking it up a gear for Mother’s Day, and rightly so – our mothers deserve the very best. Treat your mum (and yourself) to an afternoon at the Palm Springs High Tea event. This southern Californian-themed soiree will have her beaming – there will be cocktails, flower crowns (so very Coachella), live tunes, a beauty bar by spaQ plus an Instagram ‘arch’ to snap that perfect candid moment! The high tea, located in the Sunset Lounge on the boutique hotel’s second level, will well and truly be fit for a queen, so expect a glorious spread of delectable savouries and sweets.

If you’re after a Mother’s Day high tea with a more casual tone, then you can’t go past QTea – it’s high tea, but with a curious and colourful QT-style twist. You’ll be treated to a vibrant array of sweets and savouries, and you can even opt for a glass of bubbles each (you totally should). For a foodie spread with the likes of trawler-fresh seafood, slow-cooked meats, vibrant salads, charcuterie and Asian delights, then head upstairs for a lunchtime feast at Bazaar – you both can soak up the vibes with a complimentary glass of bubbles and a special gift for mum before getting started on one of the most impressive feasts around. Whether you choose high tea or cocktails and flower crowns, make sure you finish up your day together at the Mummas Mimosa Bar at Stingray Lounge – there will be a choice of delicious mimosa mixers, from sorbets, sherbets, juices and fruity delights – or add a nip of mum’s favourite liqueur to really get the party started.
