About us

Live in the moment and indulge in the little luxuries. Leave your worries at check-in and stake your claim by the pool. Welcome to the great escape - stay a while. Residing in a prime location at the northern end of the iconic Cairns waterfront boardwalk, Crystalbrook Riley features 311 stylish rooms and suites, most with spacious balconies. There are also signature spaces to mingle, relax, work and play. Add to this a lagoon swimming pool spanning over 1,000 square metres with a private manmade beach, a day spa and a 24-hour fitness centre and you’re on your way to a truly great stay. When it comes to restaurants and bars, Crystalbrook Riley thinks differently. You’ll find engaging, social, vibrant spaces and a passion for innovation – all day, every day. Enjoy a tropical cocktail and a freshly made salad poolside, or head to the theatrical Paper Crane for zingy Asian-fusion style dishes or the perfect succulent steak. For sweeping views and an atmosphere not to be missed, head to Rocco. Perfect for balmy nights, Rocco is perched 42 metres above sea level and offers share style food inspired by the Middle-East along with a stellar Champagne menu, second to none. If a pina colada and lounging by the coast is more your vibe, then head to vibrant rum and seafood bar, Calypso Club, to embrace a spirit that is equal parts playful and bright as it is elegant and charming. Crystalbrook Riley offers a diverse range of modern, versatile meeting zones, all with natural light. Each zone offers a flexible range of set-ups accommodating events for up to 400 people. Oh, and the Wi-Fi is fast and free – obviously! #ResponsibleLuxury At Crystalbrook Collection Hotels and Resorts we aspire to protect the environment and create sustainable experiences that enhance, rather than compromise the guest experience. We enjoy modern living through attitude, design, technology and a passion for a better world – or what we call #ResponsibleLuxury. Because the little things make a big difference.
