4.5-star apartment hotel with individually designed strata-titled suites in central Cairns
Accommodations
201 Lake Street offers 53 strata-titled apartments, each with unique interior designs set by individual owners. Guests can choose between one- and two-bedroom apartments, all with air conditioning, private balconies or patios, and separate living areas. The sixth-storey building contains contemporary 1 and 2-bedroom apartments that include full kitchens and in-unit laundry facilities.
Amenities & Services
An on-site professional management team and a tour desk help guests book local activities, including Great Barrier Reef excursions. The property offers free undercover parking, luggage storage, dry cleaning services, and grocery deliveries. An outdoor swimming pool with a shallow end and sun loungers is open all year, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.
Location
Located 1.5 km from Cairns Central shopping centre, 201 Lake Street sits one block off the Esplanade, directly across from a bus stop. Major attractions such as the Cairns Aquarium and The Cairns Museum are within a 15-minute walk. The hotel also provides secure underground parking for guests with rental cars.
Family-Friendly Features
Family rooms and two-bedroom apartments with connecting layouts accommodate groups, as noted by guests who hosted a team of 18 using the living area and BBQ facilities. The pool's shallow end is designed for young children, and the landscaped gardens offer space for outdoor play. The tour desk can arrange family-friendly excursions, and the self-catering apartments with full kitchens reduce meal costs.
Outdoor & Leisure
Lush landscaped gardens with palms and tropical plants surround the pool and BBQ area, creating a resort-style setting for relaxation. Guests can use the year-round swimming pool, sun loungers, and the outdoor barbecue facilities for self-catered meals. Each apartment has a balcony or patio, and the Esplanade foreshore with cafes and playgrounds is a short walk away.

“What stands out here is the staff's genuine helpfulness, particularly at reception, which creates a welcoming atmosphere. The location balances proximity to the city center with a quieter setting, though the walk to the waterfront can feel long on hot days. Recently renovated apartments offer modern kitchens and comfortable furnishings.”
