There
are a lot of hotels in Cairns to choose from.
Most are
luxury highrisers and
many are either in the city centre or along the beachfront Esplanade,
in central and north Cairns.
Most are walking distance to the city but if you click on each you can check the exact location on a map
(and see more photos and read more information).
You can also make bookings, and in the end of the page you can search for more accommodation.
