Review by hotel critic
During my recent corporate retreat at Rydges Plaza Cairns, I was impressed by the extensive business amenities available. The two conference rooms on level 3 were perfect for our meetings, with the option to combine them for larger gatherings. The seamless Wi-Fi connection made remote work effortless, ensuring productivity was never compromised.The hotel's rooftop pool provided a refreshing break after long work sessions, while the sauna offered a relaxing way to unwind. The bar and lounge area was ideal for networking in a more casual setting, and the on-site restaurant catered well to our varied dietary needs. The welcome drink upon arrival was a thoughtful touch that set a positive tone for our stay. The 24-hour reception and helpful staff ensured all our business needs were promptly addressed. The accessibility features like wheelchair access were appreciated, making the hotel inclusive for all guests. The no-smoking policy added to the overall pleasant and clean atmosphere, conducive to focused work.Rydges Plaza Cairns proved to be a practical choice for business travelers, offering a range of amenities that cater to both work and relaxation needs. I would recommend this hotel for corporate stays in Cairns without hesitation.
