Crystalbrook Bailey

A modern hotel in a very good location in Cairns: nowhere is more than a 5 minute walk. The lobby is striking in its layout and the design is pretty much echoed throughout. The exterior of the building has an odd pea green metallic cladding: actually very useful as a readily recognisable landmark. Room stylish and comfortable.

Great standard of Rooms again. This time we booked a King Deluxe I thoroughly enjoyed the rest. We had breakfast this time and while there were a variety of options for everyone. The hot food was not very hot. Great facilities and super friendly staff. We look forward to staying again.

We stayed at Crystalbrook Bailey for one night after spending a few nights at Crystalbrook Riley. Bailey is a great option if you’re looking for something a bit more affordable but still clean, modern, and well-located. Our room had city and mountain views — no ocean, but you still feel connected to the energy of the city. The room was slightly smaller than our Riley room but very comfortable and well-designed. Staff were super friendly, and breakfast was included in our rate. The restaurant where breakfast is served turns into a steakhouse in the evening — we only tried the morning meal, which was fresh and satisfying. Bailey feels a little more tucked away (two streets away only) from the tourist-heavy Esplanade area, so it’s quieter and a great base if you want to explore a different side of Cairns - and find restaurants which are slightly less touristy. Highly recommend for a relaxing, stylish stay without the higher price tag. If I had to do it again, I would just choose Bailey for all days of my stay - but I care less about the pools and more about being out and about in and around Cairns and by the waterfront.
