There is ample off street parking and a nice little pool to cool off. The complimentary bottle of wine provided to us as VIP Hotels.com members was a good quality bottle of Pino Grigio. Very much appreciated. The staff were lovely and we were able to store our luggage until check in as we arrived quite early. Happy to...

Landmarks like Cairns Regional Gallery and Tjapukai Cultural Park in Cairns might be worth a visit. Cultural venues include Cairns Performing Arts Centre, Australian Armour and Artillery Museum and The Cairns Museum. Cairns Esplanade is another popular sight to explore.
What is a historic hotel like in Cairns?
Historic hotels give guests the chance to stay in a place that’s been recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can be castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Cairns often preserve authentic elements such as period features or traditional architecture in guestrooms or communal spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
They are quite similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and building. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Cairns have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay can expect the usual amenities you’d get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. Booking a historic hotel in Cairns doesn’t mean you’re picking a place that’s rundown.
