Modern Accommodation in Cairns, QLD
Like siblings, our three hotels share the same five-star standards while each keeps its own personality:
Crystalbrook Bailey
Thoughtful and arty. From the local astists' works displayed in the lobby to the cushions on your bed, Bailey is a celebration of creativity. Dine at award-winning signature steakhouse CC’s Bar and Grill, sip by the pool at Pachamama, or enjoy a fresh brew at ARTE. Bailey Residences add apartment-style living for longer stays.
Crystalbrook Flynn
Our social butterfly. Three levels of flavour: modern Italian at Flynn’s Italian, riverside sips overlooking the esplanade/coral sea at Whiskey & Wine, and effortless good times at Boardwalk Social. Unwind at Eléme Day Spa between reef days and city nights.
Crystalbrook Riley
Live in the moment. Think a show-stopping 1000+ sqm lagoon-style pool with a man-made beach, rooftop bar Rocco for golden-hour views, Paper Crane for Asian-inspired flavours, Calypso Club for seafood and rum and Eléme Day Spa to unwind.
All three put you on the Cairns Esplanade with quick access to the Cairns Marlin Marina, Reef Fleet Terminal, lagoon and CBD.
