Pullman Cairns International
Part of the Accor hotel group, the Pullman is a five-star hotel in the heart of the city. Here you'll find the seafood-focused Coco's Kitchen and Bar, plus a business center, fitness center, day spa, sauna, swimming pool, and jacuzzi in a luxurious setting.
The Pullman's design philosophy pays tribute to the city's early history, and all rooms have large balconies overlooking the mountains or the ocean. Rooms start from AU$209 per night. A second Pullman hotel across the road hosts the Cairns Casino.
