Earth Hour 2021: March 27 from 8:30PM to 9:30PM Local Time

Every year around the globe, in more than 7000 cities and 190 countries, hundreds of millions of people take part in Earth Hour by ‘switching off’ for 60 minutes, as a symbolic gesture of solidarity to show they care about our planet's future. Each year, thousands of Hilton Hotels around the globe take part in the 60 minutes and find creative ways to participate and raise awareness of climate change and energy reduction with their guests, team members and the wider community.

Fun fact: The original concept of Earth Hour was born during a WWF meeting hosted at Hilton Sydney.

The idea behind Earth Hour is that simple steps i.e. switching off lights can make a big different to address climate change. This ideology truly aligns with Hilton’s passion and commitment to sustainability and reducing our footprint.  Our goal is to cut our environmental footprint in half by 2030.

The only of its kind in Australia - step inside The Real Human Anatomy Exhibition to gain a comprehensive insight into the extraordinary human anatomy and physiology by viewing real human bodies preserved by the process of plastination.

This exhibition is a display of art, of the beauty of our human body. It shows how amazing the functioning of our body is and how it has evolved to become a combination of different complex systems which all support each other. Each body works as a complete universe.

Come and see it for yourself - located inside the lobby of Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences at 6 Orchid Avenue, Surfers Paradise, for a limited time.

What is plastination?

Plastination is a process where dissected body parts are treated and fixed with silicone-like polymers enables them to be displayed without decomposing.

Tickets

$20 family, $10 adult - available to purchase upon entry.

50% of all proceeds are donated to the Schwartz Foundation to assist in stem cell research.

Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences unveils the next stage of the $9million upgrade with a transformed arrival experience including a new lobby, the opening of Ms Margot’s Bar & Eats and the launch of The Real Human Anatomy Exhibition.

Stepping inside the transformed lobby guests will find a relaxed, coastal oasis that embodies the Gold Coast, with spaces designed to linger and enjoy, including the brand new Ms Margot’s Bar & Eats, perfectly curated for intimate dining experiences from early until late.

Fiona Pryde, general manager, Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences said the bar is proudly named after regular Ms Margot, who has been visiting daily for a decade for her morning coffee and breakfast. “We chose to name the bar after our beloved Ms. Margot who keeps coming back, day after day, year after year for her daily dose of the famous Hilton Hospitality we provide.”

“We wanted to create a beautiful space where guests and locals will keep coming back to, just like Ms Margot, to eat, drink and make connections,” Ms Pryde added.

Available from 7AM is the gourmet breakfast menu, followed by a delicious all-day, share-style menu for lunch and dinner, featuring everything from antipasto to tempura bug rolls, grilled king prawns, pork belly baos and mouth-watering desserts.

To drink, the bar showcases award-winning Sydney Brewery draught beers and ciders on tap. The playful cocktail menu has been curated by award winning Hilton Surfers Paradise mixologists with the speciality cocktails all having special meaning and drawing inspiration from family, friends and fun.

The new lobby features a gallery showcasing The Real Human Anatomy Exhibition. It is an exhibition that gets under the skin and gives a comprehensive insight into the human anatomy by viewing real human bodies, preserved by the process of plastination. Entry to the Exhibition is $20 per family with part of the proceeds going to Stem Cell research.

Ms Pryde said that creating a new lobby, bar & and gallery during the COVID-19 pandemic created a sense of optimism for the team. “The entire ground floor renovation including the new lobby, Ms Margot’s Bar & Eats and the Exhibition Gallery has been built by local Gold Coast builders, it’s been great to support local family business at this time,” Ms Pryde said.

Whilst the new lobby has many different spaces to while away the time, guests can choose to skip the front desk and go straight to their room with the launch of contactless Digital Key.

The refurbishments have seen the addition of nine guest rooms, a brand new executive lounge, a new lobby, the addition of three new meeting spaces, the activation of contactless Digital Key and the launch of The Real Human Anatomy Exhibition.
