Hilton Cairns
The hotel’s onsite restaurant was closed, which initially left us in a difficult situation. However, the staff kindly confirmed the chef’s availability and arranged for us to enjoy the dishes we wanted at another restaurant’s table. I was truly impressed by the hotel’s hospitality.

Cairns Harbourside Hotel
Lovely hotel in an excellent location Staff are very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast is adequate although a bit monotonous with the same menu everyday -discontinued the porridge after 2 days which my elderly father had for breakfast but otherwise would highly recommend it.
