There are few hotels that can boast they are 'across the road' from The Coral Sea. This same Coral Sea is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and if heading to Cairns will certainly be on your list of must see natural attractions.

The Riley Hotel sits on prime real estate and boasts a central and convenient location for those looking to soak up all that Cairns has to offer.

The heart of the hotel is undoubtedly the 1,000-square-metre, sand-fringed lagoon-style pool that sits at its center. Many of the rooms overlook this sparkling oasis and it's easily accessible from the restaurants and spa.

The lobby sets the tone with bespoke designer furniture in earthy tones and soaring ceilings. This cool and pared-back aesthetic is carried throughout the rooms, each one boasting enormous bathrooms with rain showers and freestanding tubs, locally sourced snacks, and yoga mats ready for you to use.

For those that are looking for that little bit extra during the stay, The Riley delivers with their luxurious experiences offered by their very own Eléme Spa,.

When it comes to dining, the hotel has three superb options, including Rocco, a top-floor Mediterranean-style restaurant and bar that's quickly becoming a favourite for both visitors and locals. Get ready to have your expectations exceeded by this modern luxury hotel; something we think Cairns has been patiently waiting for some time.
