Wow! What a place. With vibes like the W hotel chains, views and weather like the tropics you expect and close to the city so you can shop and entertain yourself. It truly is a great addition to Cairns. The Riley, a Crystalbrook Collection Resort is the newest hotel in town. It is funky, stylish and somewhere people, WANT to be. Our room (in the tower) gave us gorgeous views of the ocean, the mountains and some of the city itself. The beds are divinely comfortable, the lighting, air conditioning and amenities, luxurious. The bathroom offers a huge rainforest shower with delicious personal products. The Riley also provides you with an extensive list of free movies to watch, excellent wifi and also an Apple Ipad control centre. Wake up to a Nespresso pod style coffee before heading down to breakfast at the choice of cafes right on your door step. The mini bar options are insane! You can also slip into one of their unique bath robes to go down to the pool, or just chill in your room. The gym is not extensive but offers enough to get your daily workout done and dusted. You can also do a early morning yoga class on selected days, right by the pool side. They have the gorgeous Eleme spa, right by the poolside and gym, so you can have a massage or a beauty treatment, not far from your room. The pool area is really gorgeous and is the centrepiece of the whole resort. Though I found it really weird that they allow the public to use the pool also. This I found weird, as you would see people coming in and out all day, collecting hotel towels never to be returned and people just mingling about. The deal is they are suppose to be utilising the venues within the hotel, but they aren't. There is also the three venues you can eat and drink at within the hotel, (will be reviewed individually). Rocco a roof top bar with gorgeous views, Paper Crane a great place for dinner or breakfast buffet and Greenfields another great breakfast destination. The hotel is super chic! And it really is what was needed in Cairns. Hopefully it will now influence what is done there, as if it does it will be the next hot location for travellers. If you are in this area you NEED to stay here. It really is special.
