The accident occurred at two o'clock in the morning on Monday in the city, which is located in the state of Queensland.
A city spokesperson confirmed that two helicopter propellers broke off and landed on the esplanade and in the hotel pool.
About 300-400 people were evacuated from the building, "people on the ground were not injured," the ambulance service said.
