Hilton Opens 4th DoubleTree Hotel in Australia

Hilton has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Australia with the opening of the DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns.

The 237-room Cairns hotel, formerly a Holiday Inn, occupies a waterfront location on the Coral Sea.

The hotel is the fourth DoubleTree by Hilton in Australia and the 400th hotel in the brand’s global portfolio.

“Guests at DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns can look forward to experiencing the brand’s signature service in the tropical surrounds of Far North Queensland,” said John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton. “The opening of this hotel further cements our commitment to the Australian market. We know that the little things mean everything when it comes to a rewarding travel experience and strive to bring each guest the special comforts and acts of kindness that are unique to the brand - starting with a warm chocolate chip cookie welcome at check-in and continuing throughout every aspect of a guest’s stay.”

DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns is located at 121 The Esplanade, approximately six kilometres from Cairns International Airport and half a kilometre from Cairns’ CBD centre. Cairns itself is the gateway to some of Australia’s greatest tourism experiences including the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest.

The hotel incorporates an unique open air rainforest garden with a barramundi pond, providing an excellent space for guests to relax.

Each of the 237 Cairns hotel rooms are modern and spacious and offer floor-to-ceiling city, mountain or water views. Guests have a choice of 161 double-double rooms, 75 king rooms and one king one-bedroom suite.

At the heart of DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns, The Atrium restaurant serves a wide variety of cuisine that incorporates local ingredients with inspired presentation and flavours. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, The Atrium also offers 24-hour room service.

In addition to The Atrium restaurant, the Lobby Bar is an ideal place for guests to unwind after a day exploring Cairns or some of the region’s natural wonders.

Guests can enjoy a range of complimentary services and amenities including an outdoor swimming pool, a 24-hour gym, business centre and a dedicated tour desk providing information on local attractions and activities. The Cairns hotel also offers meeting and event space that can facilitate meetings for up to 160 guests’ theatre-style. Complimentary high-speed internet access is available in public areas.
