VENUE

Ideally located in the heart of Cairns, Shangri-La Hotel, The Marina, Cairns, gently frames the city's foreshore, overlooking the Marlin Marina, Trinity Bay and surrounding mountain ranges. This convenient inner-city location is just a short 10-minute drive to the Cairns International Airport and a short stroll to the Esplanade Lagoon, Pier Shopping, Pier Dining Promenade and Great Barrier Reef Departure Terminal. In keeping with Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts' renowned level of service and luxury facilities world-wide, Shangri-La Hotel, The Marina, Cairns has completed an award-winning refurbishment program to the tune of A$35 million. This program saw the upgrade of existing facilities and the construction of exciting new additions such as TIDES BLD + BAR and the Horizon Club Floor. New revitalisations to the property include the recent upgrades to the hotel suites and level 2 meeting and banquet rooms and in July 2006 a purpose built Events Centre was launched. The five-star Shangri-La Hotel, The Marina, Cairns is one of the city's most distinguished hotels and sets an innovative benchmark in accommodation excellence for the region.
