Crystalbrook Riley
City Hotel
Our Rating
8.4
Crystalbrook Riley, a vibrant five-star retreat on Cairns' iconic Esplanade, blends sophisticated elegance with playful charm. Embracing #responsibleluxury, it eliminates plastic straws, bottles, and key cards, saving over 250,000 plastic bottles annually through large-pump amenities.
The 311 stylish rooms and suites, many with spacious balconies offering urban, resort, or sea views, feature Apple iPad control centres with healthy-living apps, 55-inch Smart TVs with Staycast by Google, complimentary movies, blackout blinds, rainforest showerheads, and Nespresso machines with recyclable pods. Family rooms include two bedrooms and bathrooms, ensuring refined comfort amidst contemporary design, with all spaces reflecting a commitment to sustainability through partnerships with Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef, TerraCycle, OzHarvest, and Containers for Change.
Dining is a dynamic experience with Paper Crane's theatrical wok-fried seafood and steaks, Greenfields' fresh cold-pressed juices, and Rocco, Cairns' highest rooftop bar 42 metres above sea level, offering Mediterranean-inspired share plates and an unrivalled Champagne menu. The expansive 1,000-square-metre lagoon pool with a man-made beach, cabanas, and poolside service, alongside Eléme Day Spa and a 24-hour fitness centre, create a luxurious haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.
A five-minute waterfront stroll from Cairns' shopping, entertainment, and business centre, 10 minutes from the Great Barrier Reef Departure Terminal, and 7 minutes by car from Flecker Botanic Gardens, with Cairns Airport 5 km away, Crystalbrook Riley delivers a seamless blend of modern indulgence, vibrant dining, and the captivating allure of Cairns' coastal and cultural treasures.
