AUSTRALIA | Hilton will open its latest hotel in Queensland, Hilton Palm Cove Cairns Resort & Spa, in agreement with Tyche Asset Management.
Hilton has announced the signing of Hilton Palm Cove Cairns Resort & Spa, marking the brand’s debut in Palm Cove, Queensland.
Signed as part of a management agreement with Tyche Asset Management, the 140-room resort is located in the heart of Palm Cove, within 25 minutes of Cairns and 40 minutes south of Port Douglas.
Joining the nearby Hilton Cairns and DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns, the hotel will be fully refurbished prior to opening in Q1 2026 and will feature modern amenities, including an outdoor pool, two dining outlets, one all-day dining restaurant, two bars (one being a pool bar), a kids club, fitness centre, spa, and 450 square metres of function and meeting space.
Tushar Raniga, regional director of development for Australasia at Hilton, said it was a milestone for the company to open another hotel in Queensland, as well as to debut the brand in the area.
“This signing underscores our strategy of positioning the right brands in the right locations. Palm Cove, with its growing tourism sector and vibrant local economy, presents a significant market opportunity, and we believe Hilton Palm Cove Cairns Resort & Spa is set to become a standout resort that will attract both domestic and international travellers to this beautiful region,” said Raniga.
Paul Hutton, Area Vice President of APAC and head of Australasia at Hilton, said the new property was part of the company’s pipeline of growth in the market.
“This signing is particularly significant as it marks our fourth new hotel signing in Australasia this year, reflecting our broader growth strategy and commitment to providing exceptional hospitality to stunning locations worldwide,” said Hutton.
Diana Ren, owner of Hotel & Tyche Investments, said it was exciting to partner with Hilton to launch Hilton Palm Cove Cairns Resort & Spa.
