Top Stratford Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a king suite that overlooked the marina and esplanade. The view was well worth the extra. We enjoyed our room and the extras that came with it. Access to private lounge that included a large buffet breakfast and 2 hour happy hour every day for both of us was clearly worth the upgrade. Location was very close to good restaurants and walking distance to everything. Both location and accommodations were safe and well maintained. Highly recommend!"
