Crystalbrook Riley
Luxury waterfront stay with a rooftop bar and private beach in Cairns
About this stay
Perched at the northern end of Cairns' Esplanade, Crystalbrook Riley provides a sophisticated base for exploring the region. The hotel's design blends modern luxury with a relaxed tropical vibe, evident in its spacious rooms and suites. The expansive lagoon pool, complete with a private beach, is a focal point for relaxation, while the Eléme Day Spa offers a tranquil escape. Dining options range from casual to refined, with Rocco, Cairns' highest rooftop bar, providing panoramic views and a vibrant atmosphere. Its central location makes it convenient for accessing both city attractions and the Great Barrier Reef.

Our take
I would choose Crystalbrook Riley for the lagoon pool with its private beach, which does the job of a resort in the middle of Cairns. Three restaurants and bars, including a rooftop bar, a spa and a 24-hour fitness centre add choice, and the Reef Departure Terminal is within easy reach. An 8.6 from nearly 3,000 guests suggests a polished, well-liked stay.
- ✓Book a room with a view of the Esplanade or the ocean for the best vistas.
- ✓Make a reservation at Rocco, the rooftop bar, for sunset drinks and impressive city views.
- ✓Take advantage of the Eléme Day Spa for a relaxing treatment after a day of exploring the reef.
