In the evening, the space will transform into a lively cocktail bar serving Peruvian share plates as well as contemporary Australian favourites.
Paul Kelly, Director of Far Northern Australia project consultancy Kelly Development Services, said the hotel was a significant but necessary undertaking for Cairns.
“New Boutique hotel stock is a necessity for Cairns to reflect the changing needs of travellers and capitalise infrastructure and improvements taking place along the Cairns waterfront," he said.
"Converting a former commercial and retail space was an effective use of the site and with Oaks’ well-known brand in the region it was a perfect fit."
