Doubletree By Hilton, Cairns

Floor-to-ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light into the rooms and there's sufficient circulation space for a wheelchair user. "The accessible room can be made up as a king room or a twin bedded room. "There's sufficient room on one side of the bed to transfer from a wheelchair and by shifting the foot stool on the other side of the bed there would be room there too."

"The mini-bar and tea and coffee making facilities are all at a lowered height for wheelchair users. "The pool at DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns is accessed via a glass pool gate which is at a good height. There's a spa, pool and wading area for children, or less confident swimmers. "The area around the pool is spacious."
