A central Cairns boutique stay, done properly

The Abbott Boutique Hotel is a small, design-focused hotel in the centre of Cairns. Instead of long resort corridors and crowded lobbies, you get a calm boutique base with thoughtful touches — clean modern rooms with quality bedding, a relaxed Level 1 guest lounge, complimentary coffee, tea and water, and a friendly local team. Our location on Abbott Street is genuinely central. From the front door it is a short, easy walk to the Esplanade Lagoon, Reef Fleet Terminal, Cairns Night Markets, supermarkets, restaurants and Cairns reef tour departures. For travellers exploring Tropical North Queensland, it is one of the most convenient places to base yourself in the city.

Boutique rooms designed for comfort

All rooms feature a private ensuite, air conditioning, a smart TV with phone casting and a free movie library, mini fridge and freezer, kettle, tea and coffee, hairdryer and free high-speed Wi-Fi. Choose from spacious Deluxe King Suites for couples and families, modern Superior Rooms for couples and business guests, and great-value Superior Internal Rooms for guests who plan to spend their days exploring Cairns.

Thoughtful extras included in your stay

Guests love the complimentary coffee lounge on Level 1, free guest laundry with washer, dryer and detergent provided, and free luggage storage between liveaboard reef trips. We do not charge for Wi-Fi, the lounge, the laundry or the in-room movie library — it is all part of staying at The Abbott.
