On check in we were gifted complementary Champagne and chocolates when known we were here for my Fiancés 30th Birthday. Close to town and all attractions. Marina is right at your step if planning trips to the Fitzroy Island or Green Island like we opted for.

Hi all I stayed at Shangrila in early August. Before I go in to how great it was, I think it’s really important to note that the rooms can get quite noisy. I’m a light sleeper and struggled to go to sleep do to the noise in the restaurants and bars. I stayed at several hotels during my trip and had no problems with any other 5 star hotel, however this one I did. So if you’re a light sleeper, potentially ask the reception if you can move to a quieter room. I wish I had asked. It could be because I was on the mezzanine floor. Otherwise, the room was grand and spacious. Quite modern and probably one of my favourites in terms of internal space. The restaurants around the area are fantastic! I recommend Howlin’ for a feed and drink. If you want fresh seafood, you can dine in on the trawler which is just next door on the marina. Location is great if you are going on a boat to the Great Barrier Reef. Hope you enjoy your stay like I did :)
