Peter Wright made everything right!!! The Abbott in Cairns is a perfect place to stay. The location, the furniture and decoration, the cleaning ladies and above all Peter, the manager, who is a very welcoming and helpful and hard working man with a good sense of humour.

My partner and I stayed in a King Suite and it was so lovely, clean and comfortable with modern touches. The layout was spacious, practical and made sense. I loved that the hotel provided a "courtesy room" to use after check-out, as we wanted to take a shower and freshen up before heading to the airport. We did not dine at the hotel's restaurants, but they looked nice. Muddy's Cafe was just a short walk away from the hotel which we highly recommend! As for parking, it was AUD15/ day for secure underground parking or free parking right in front of the hotel. Housekeeping was tidy and very efficient. The pools were fantastic. We would stay here again if we came back to Cairns. Thanks to the lovely team who made our babymoon stay very memorable!

    Great location close to everything! The receptionists were all very friendly and very helpful. The environment is very cozy and throughout the stay was so comfortable and relaxing. I would like to give extra credits to the receptionists that helped to get back the toys my two year old son threw over the balcony to the property below us! We appreciated their help so much and we highly recommend them if you want to look for 5 stars accommodation in Cairns! 😊😊😊

    The hotel is terrific. The room was lovely. The layout was chic and modern, and cool. The bed was very comfortable. The facilities were great and the staff were very friendly and professional. The little balcony gave good views of the sea, the esplanade and Cairns, and those views were superb from the 9th floor! It's a uniquely furnished/finished hotel that pleases the eye. Parking was easy and undercover.
