The Benson Hotel
Cnr Spence & Grafton Streets, 4870 Cairns, Australia – Excellent location - show map – Railway access
Officially opening our doors on 1 July 2021, The Benson Hotel has taken over a previous hotel. The property has been given new life from it's external facade, through the Lobby to the deco inspired Restaurant & Bar on level three, overlooking the city skyline. Existing guest rooms have experienced a stage one refresh with new carpet, curtains, paint and 55" Smart TVs with the bathrooms and furnishing to be refurbished in stage two over the coming months. Located in the heart of the central business district, The Benson Hotel is a 5-minute walk from the Convention Center, Reef Casino, reef departure terminals, Esplanade Lagoon and Promenade. Free WiFi is included. For a more active time, go canoeing or horse riding. Make your own unique tour of the area with a rented bicycle or car. Return to a favorite drink at the bar, open from Tuesday-Saturday. The Benson Bar & Restaurant is a combination of relaxation and sophistication, offering an array of cocktails, modern dining and local delicacies. The restaurant opens from 6:30 am everyday and the bar from 12 pm till late. It also offers outdoor seating to enjoy the tropical climate.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
