Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

On Cairns' Marlin Marina, overlooking Trinity Bay and just a short walk from the Cairns Esplanade and Reef Fleet Terminal — your gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. This family-friendly waterfront hotel sits steps from ZOO To You HQ, the Marlin Marina and the Cairns Convention Centre.

255 contemporary rooms and suites across four floors, each with a private balcony or terrace and city, garden or waterfront views. Rooms feature minibars, refrigerators, 42-inch TVs, Egyptian cotton sheets and complimentary Wi‑Fi; Horizon Club rooms add a private concierge and access to an exclusive lounge.

A striking outdoor pool and a separate children's pool anchor the waterside vibe. Work out in the fitness centre, relax in the health club sauna and jacuzzi, book reef or rainforest tours at the tour desk, and enjoy secure undercover parking and a small shopping arcade — wake up to sea‑breeze mornings.

24-hour business centre, limo/town car service and express check-in support busy schedules. The property offers 18 meeting rooms and a 414 m² conference centre, backed by fast, free high-speed internet.

Three on-site restaurants and bars include The Backyard — a waterside spot serving innovative Australian flavours, tapas, boutique beers and live entertainment on weekends. Buffet breakfast is served daily (typically 6:30–10:30), with a coffee shop, poolside bar and limited room service for easy mornings.
