Once the domain of backpackers and party-seekers, Cairns proper is evolving into a centre for luxury accommodation options and great food. Following the opening of Riley in 2018 – the city’s first five-star opening in 20 years – Cairns is about to gain another gem in its Crystalbrook Collection. The all-new Bailey hotel will open in November 2019, set in the cultural heart of Cairns.

Bringing an arts focus to the fore, Bailey will lead an artist-in-residence program and display artwork from across Australia. There’ll also be creative events for guests, during which they can try their hand at creating their own artworks.

Bailey’s opening will also mark the arrival of a selection of new restaurants in the city.  The 217-room stay will open to guests on 2 November 2019.

To celebrate the launch of Bailey, Crystalbrook is offering advance opening rates starting at $179 per room per night. To book your stay with Bailey, on 163 Abbott Street, visit crystalbrookcollection.com/bailey.
