Dining: Bushfire Flame Grill Restaurant

Wellness: Outdoor pool area

“With its prime Esplanade location, the hotel is a launchpad to Great Barrier Reef excursions, and I noticed its rooms offer smart TVs and many have balconies for enjoying the views; the Brazilian-style Bushfire Flame Grill is award-winning, but I'd suggest BYO wine because of the glasses situation in the rooms. It strikes me as a solid choice for those eager to be at the heart of Cairns.”
