Experience a variety of amenities at the boutique hotel, crafted to ensure your comfort and unforgettable moments

Spacious and Clean

I stayed in a one-bedroom apartment that was incredibly spacious and tidy. It had a separate lounge/dining area and was well equipped with a kitchen and laundry. The small balcony was perfect for relaxing. Although the decor was a bit dated, everything was functional and clean.

Convenient Laundry

Having a washing machine and dryer in the apartment made our stay even more enjoyable, especially since we were there for a week. The bathroom was neat and fitted with enough amenities to meet our needs. This was particularly helpful after returning from all our day trips!

Fantastic Pool Area

I absolutely loved the heated pool! It was a great place to unwind after exploring Cairns all day. The pool area was peaceful and well-maintained, providing a calm escape from the city’s hustle.

Full Kitchen Essentials

The apartment featured a fully equipped kitchen which was a nice bonus. Although we dined out most nights, it was convenient to have the option to prepare light meals. The kitchen had everything we needed, making our stay flexible and enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant, especially with the clean and spacious rooms that felt like a home away from home.

This hotel has a central location near night markets and a variety of restaurants, which is highly convenient.

I had a wonderful stay at Il Palazzo, right in the heart of Cairns. The location was perfect for exploring, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and attractions.

We had a nice stay at IL Palazzo in Cairns with a perfect location close to the night market and restaurants. The apartment was clean, quiet, and had a charming Mediterranean style. However, the Wi-Fi was frustratingly slow, and the limited front desk hours created stress during our arrival. Overall, it's a decent spot if you can overlook a few issues.
