About this place Pullman Cairns International

Pullman Cairns International is a large chain hotel that leans on its location rather than any pretension. At 17 Abbott Street you’ll find a high‑rise that looks out over the marina and Trinity Inlet, with Cairns Central shopping centre less than a kilometre away. The property is listed as gay‑friendly, but it’s not a gay‑specific venue. Rooms come in twin, double, triple and suite formats; a few face the sea. Every room has air‑conditioning, a minibar and tea‑and‑coffee supplies. A rooftop pool and a modest fitness centre sit on the top floor, giving guests a place to cool off after a day on the reef. The real advantage is the walkability: the Esplanade and the reef‑fleet terminal are just a few minutes on foot, so you can catch early departures to the Great Barrier Reef without a taxi.

Close to everywhere. Nice breakfast and great varieties. 1 min to casino. Great job on sound proof and sound block, quiet and clean room.

Nice room, good location. Staff are friendly and helpful. Overnight Parking (allowing in and out) also easy with reasonable price that can be booked in advance.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Cairns, which was made all the more enjoyable by our stay in the Pullman Cairns International Hotel. We got a great deal through our Accor membership, which was made even better when we contacted the hotel direct. Our room was a Deluxe Harbour View King room on Level 9, on the north western corner facing Abbott St. Note, if you want views, then you’ll need to be at least Level 9, otherwise other high rise buildings will block your view. We experienced lovely sunrises and sunsets. Easy walking distance to the esplanade, city CBD, and a gentle stroll to Cairns Central (incorporating Queensland Rail’s Cairns Station). Highly recommended and we’ll back next year!
