Undeniably one of Cairns’ coolest hotels and officially one of the top three hotels in Cairns on Tripadvisor, Pullman Reef Hotel Casino is considered Far North Queensland’s number one gaming destination. A Tropical North Queensland icon this resort playground boasts a lively atmosphere, world-class dining and spectacular entertainment.
Setting the tone before you even step inside, the hotel exudes effortless five-star style with a tiered glass rooftop dome that soars above the city skyline and an enviable position with views of Trinity Inlet and the cruise terminal.

But the real jewel in the crown of this top-rated hotel is the attached gaming complex.
Pullman Reef Hotel Casino’s boutique entertainment will keep you on your toes with blackjack tables, roulette wheels and slot machines. Inside you’ll also find the multi-award-winning Tamarind restaurant, complimentary live entertainment every Friday and Saturday at BAR36, a true sports bar experience at Casino Sports Arena – featuring cinema-style seating and a huge theatre screen for 360-degree sports action — the vibrant Lihou Bar on the main gaming floor.
