If you are planning a trip to Cairns with your group and are looking for accommodation with a restaurant, the choice of the hotel is crucial. However, it turns out that it's not always easy to find group accommodations that not only offer comfortable lodging but also have an on-site restaurant for shared meals and socializing. After thorough examination of 81 hotels in Cairns, we present to you the top 10 group hotels with a restaurant that are ideal for your trip. These not only offer a pleasant stay but also the opportunity to experience culinary delights directly on-site.

Getting offers from different hotels is unfortunately very time-consuming, we know that. That's why we have created our dedicated service, which provides you with fitting offers!
