Private rooms, stunning views

If judged on nothing more than location then the Mercure Hotel Harbourside is a winner. The Mecure is located on the Cairns Esplanade and offers a break from the day's activities without taking guests off the beaten path. Guests seeking easy access to a good walking or jogging path need only run right out the hotel door. Many of the rooms -- all with private balconies -- offer stunning views of Trinity Bay or rainforest-covered mountain ranges. Teshi's Restaurant serves classic dishes with an Eastern flair.

Highlights
  • Private balconies with views of Trinity Bay or the mountains
  • Teshi's restaurant serves classic dishes infused with Eastern flavors
  • Located on the Esplanade
  • Just a few minutes' walk from the Great Barrier Reef departure point
Rooms

The already spacious rooms get a boost in status thanks to their private balconies. Contemporary but spare décor makes for a peaceful place to sleep. All rooms feature pay-per-view movies and high-speed Internet access. The studio and executive suites have kitchenettes for guests who prefer to prepare their own meals.

Features

Though it is difficult to look away from the views of Trinity Bay and the mountains, the well-attended tropical garden at Mercure Hotel have plenty of visual appeal.

 

Teshi's merges classic cuisine with Eastern influences. The restaurant is open every night from 6:30 p.m. The chef's signature dish is the seafood-of-the-day zuppa de pesce. Other menu items include a caramelized pork belly served with Chinese greens in sesame vinegar, and confit duck leg with duck and pistachio sausage. The restaurant also serves a daily breakfast buffet. The buffet includes Asian food items, tropical fruits, cereals, juices, hot food items, and pastries.

 

Blue Mango, the hotel's bar, pairs wine, beer, and an extensive cocktail list with views of Trinity Bay.

Staff is friendly and environment is good. However, it is far away from city centre in walking distance though free shuttle is available, but only once per hour

Stay Some Place Else

Worse hotel I have stayed at during my travels. Had to wait an additional hour for my room, they lost my luggage in the hotel while they were making me wait. They have basic television and the room service was not good. I had to call to complain about the fact that there was no hot water. Don't bother staying here- save your money and go some place else.

Good clean hotel, limited room service menu. Could do with an update, but otherwise good, and nice 20 minute walk into town via the foreshore walking path. The free shuttle bus inot town was also great!

Hotel is good but it does take half an hour to walk to town. When booking this hotel online there were two prices for the room with a brief abbrieveated discription for the second price which appeared to suggest it included breakfast.....it does not!
