General Information
The hotel is styled on Mediterranean architecture whilst incorporating classic design influences of the tropics. Combined with contemporary elements of arches, wrought-iron & terracotta tiles with light, airy colours, good quality fabrics & subtle lighting, offering guests a totally unique atmosphere not featured elsewhere in Tropical North Queensland.
Surrounding lush, landscaped gardens & tropical swimming pools, Palm Royale Cairns is a 150 room boutique, resort-style hotel with a difference, a home away from home. Mediterranean at heart, the combination of first class facilities & warm, friendly service make it the perfect escape or ideal base from which to discover the region's natural wonders of reef, rainforest & outback.
Relax in the tranquil, resort style surroundings. Laze by the pool & experience "al fresco" dining at its best.

By night experience a whole new atmosphere when the courtyard lights up with a stunning glow of yellow flames. Be tempted by the sizzle of the popular Aussie BBQ at Café Royale or dine a la carte under the stars on the balcony of Colossus.

Location Description
This coastal region is framed by two features of such pristine beauty and exceptional value they have been listed by the World Heritage Society and today rank in importance with Americas Grand Canyon and the renowned Galapagos Islands. These two natural features, now acclaimed as amongst the world's most wonderful assets are The Great Barrier Reef and The Wet Tropics Rainforests.
The year-round natural attractions are truly memorable and inspiring. The colourful, sophisticated capital of the Tropical North, Cairns city is alive with life and charm. Here, warm northern hospitality and enthusiasm are the order of the day. Ask a local why they love their home and they're likely to say 'because its simply...beautiful'.

ENTRY & EXIT REQUIREMENTS
Immigration Requirements
All international visitors require a current passport, and a visitors' visa (excepting New Zealand residents), so check carefully before finalising your travel plans. If you're planning a working holiday, there are formalities to be observed so make inquiries at your local Australian consulate.
Customs Regulations
Limitations apply to bringing in many items including quotas for tobacco products, alcohol, motor vehicles and other personal possessions - details can be obtained from an Australian Custom Booklet. As Australia is an island, strict quarantine regulations apply to plants and food items so again please ask before you embark.
Health Regulations
There are no compulsory immunisations required before arriving in Australia unless travellers have been in a quarantine zone within 14 days preceding arrival. Travellers journeying to Far North Queensland via tropical countries should seek medical advice about those countries before departing home. There are no entry and exit requirements between Australian states.
