 Rydges Esplanade Resort is located on the Esplanade along the foreshore of Cairns.
The hotel room accommodation offers 242 generously proportioned air-conditioned rooms with the décor reflecting the tropical lifestyle and landscapes of Cairns. All rooms feature private balconies, mini-bar, in-house movies and 24-hour room service.
The Rydges Esplanade Resort also boasts 24 semi-self-contained Studio Apartments and 80 fully self-contained Tower Apartments. This style of accommodation is ideally suited to family holidays, with one and two bedrooms available. The Tower Apartments are equipped with a full-size fridge, dishwasher, crockery and cutlery, laundry and separate living area. The Studio Apartments are similar in style but with limited cooking facilities.
To complement this selection, the Resort has five stunning penthouses, two of which have their own private roof-top swimming pool and provide the ultimate in luxury accommodation. The penthouses are also perfect for small training sessions, board meetings, weddings and intimate cocktail parties.
 As well as extensive resort facilities not usually found in a city location, the Rydges Esplanade Resort offers guests a wide variety of dining options, including the award winning Crystal Twig Restaurant.
Other features include a fully equipped and staffed health club, three bars, two full-size tennis courts, three swimming pools, Lobby Shop, Tour Desk, Hair Salon and undercover parking. There is also a Convenience Store located within the Resort complex that offers a selection of groceries and souvenirs.
The new Kids Water Park is just a short stroll up the road. The Cairns Lagoon is also a popular place for the whole family all year round and just a little further along the new picturesque Esplanade.
