The best location in Cairns; downtown on the waterfront, close to the seaport, city shopping, parklands and the Reef Casino. The famous Esplanade Precinct with art galleries, cinemas and other entertainment is nearby. Tour buses pick up for any day tours.

A multi million dollar revitalisation program has changed the face of the Cairns CBD and Esplanade precinct, both of which are on the doorstep of the Pacific International Hotel Cairns.

The Esplanade had been transformed to feature a 4000sqm resort style saltwater swimming lagoon and sandy beach, Sound Shell and an extensive cultural boardwalk along the foreshore.

"The New Cairns" includes a modern Reef Fleet Terminal for the cruise, dive and fishing fleet departing everyday for the Great Barrier Reef.
