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.

Very friendly staff, very good location, at bit noise from the city at night, but what can you expect with this location. Breakfast was great. Selfparking with low clearance of 185cm was a bit of a challenge, but we managed. Next time I choose valet, when I come in a SUV

We loved our stay at Hilton Cairns! Fabulous location, excellent staff & service, comfortable bed and linen. We spent hours on the balcony and by the pool. A pina colada and club sandwich by the pool puts you straight into holiday mode. We didn't have the breakfast, preferred the local cafes. We also took advantage of skipping a room service for a drink instead. Great idea!
