We absolutely loved our stay at the Hilton Cairns. Perfect location. We stayed on the 8th floor we water views, which gave us access to a seperate room offering a small Buffet breakfast every morning and canapés, beer and wine in the evening. Absolutely loved this option as the dinning room downstairs is full and the food, drinks and a Harpist on the Saturday was a lovely touch. Comfy bed was a big bonus too.
