Park Regis City Quays  

On Cairns' waterfront at 6 Lake Street, this hotel and self-contained apartment property is long-stay friendly and ideal for city-and-sea trips. A short walk takes you to the esplanade, harbour foreshore, night markets and marina, and the city's main convention centre sits directly across the street.

Choose from modern hotel rooms or one- and two-bedroom self-contained apartments with individually controlled air-conditioning and ceiling fans. Many rooms feature private balconies, fridges, microwaves, pillow-top beds, docking stations for personal music players and high-definition TVs. Reception has limited opening hours — please advise flight number and estimated arrival time when booking.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or fire up the rooftop sundeck and BBQ area under tropical skies. Tour and ticket assistance can hook you up with Great Barrier Reef trips and local adventures, while luggage storage, a safe at reception, laundry and onsite parking (charges apply) keep stays easy. Complimentary wireless internet is available throughout, with wired access in public areas for a fee.

A business centre and nearby conference spaces make this a solid base for events and trade shows. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and refreshed rooms with work desks support remote work and meetings.

Cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily (for a fee), and an on-site restaurant covers casual meals. Waterfront eateries and bustling night-market stalls are just steps away for local bites and evening bites.
