Hilton Cairns

Best Japanese food in cairns. I have tried every Japanese restaurant in North Queensland and have just been blown away by what Hiro the specialty chef has served us. He serves tempura, sashimi and sushi in a bar on the ground floor Monday and Tuesday nights and not only was it sensational he also had it delivered to our room and accommodated a request from my wife who does not like raw fish and made her a cooked sushi course. Thanks to the Hilton for an awesome meal and service, and thanks so much to Hiro.

We had such a lovely stay at the Hilton Cairns as part of our honeymoon! Our room had the most beautiful view over the water, and we spent time on the balcony just watching boats and enjoying the weather. The location was great and easily walkable to the Esplanade and down town. The staff were so friendly, helpful and polite, and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. The hotel was very clean and the pool was beautiful! Great amenities.

Rooms were clean, staff was pleasant, executive lounge and other areas were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Many options available, and all tasted great! Staff was helpful, would definitely return! The location was also great! We enjoyed the views!

Great location on the Esplanade. Really convenient for the reef trips and restaurants. The hotel was lovely - the reception smelled aromatic, the staff were great, the room was excellent with a very comfortable bed and fantastic view (recommend room 421). The only complaint I had was the music around the pool area. It was jazzy and loud and not relaxing at all. I hope the management take on my comment to change it to no music at all or a much more softer and relaxing kind for future travellers.

A lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff, a good breakfast, and a stunning view from the ‘sea’ view room. It’s not in fact the sea but a human-made lagoon but with the forest-clad hills behind it looks like Tahiti. You may even have visits from Lori parrots on the balcony. Room service was good and not that expensive. My only two negatives are the lousy WiFi and the tedious process for seating people at breakfast, which often resulted in queues of 20 minutes. They really ought to sharpen this up.
