Top Cairns Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cairns

Hilton Cairns

10/10 Excellent
"This beautiful hotel has an amazing location right on the water. It’s close to all amenities you could ask for and also very close to shopping and the central business district (very walkable). ALL the staff were amazing, in doing their respective jobs as well as going above for added requests. The lobby bar (with sushi chef) and the breakfast dining room offered excellent service and choice. The water views from both were amazing. I will definitely be staying at this Hilton next time I am in Cairns!"
