The hotel at a glance
A walk through the resort from the palm-lined driveway to the pool terrace, with the facts that matter for your stay.
Setting and first impressions
The resort occupies the tip of the Townsville breakwater on Sir Leslie Thiess Drive. A double row of royal palms lines the approach, and the white hotel tower rises behind them. The building dates from 1986, but the 2018 redevelopment gave it a coastal look with white timber-style cladding, soft lighting and large windows facing the water.
The lobby is long and open. On a clear day you can look straight through the glass doors at the far end to the pool terrace, the palms and the sea beyond. Reception, the concierge desk and the lifts to the rooms are all on this level.

Ardo, the new neighbour
Next door, the Morris Group has added Ardo, a five-star hotel the company describes as an $80 million project. Ardo is a separate hotel, but it shares the precinct, and three of its venues, Terasu, Marmor and Ardo Rooftop, are promoted together with The Ville. The hotel describes Terasu and Marmor as chef-hatted restaurants.
For a traveller this means more choice within a short walk: you can stay at The Ville and book dinner at Ardo, or the other way round.
Who owns it?
The hotel says the Morris Group, the family company founded by Chris Morris, bought the property in 2014. Some public sources name Colonial Leisure Group as the owner; that name has been linked to the same founder. We report both and leave the corporate detail to the official records.
