If you wish to stay right in the centre of Cairns, you should choose to upgrade to the Pacific Hotel, where you get to stay in the middle of the Esplanade, a mere stone’s throw away from the city’s man-made lagoon. Restaurants, shops, cafés and bars – and even the city’s casino – are just around the corner.

The hotel has 207 rooms, with many different categories to choose from. The hotel is a classic first-class hotel, and this is reflected in the rooms. They are spacious and decorated in muted colours, some of them with an extra touch of the tropics. All rooms have air conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities, a safe, an iron and ironing board, a flatscreen TV and free Wi-Fi. Many of the rooms also have their own balcony.

The restaurant is located on the ground floor, while the pool is on the third floor under the partially open sky.
