Designs on new hotel
Developer submits drawings
CRYSTALBROOK Collection’s big green hotel Bailey is making a bold statement as it emerges from the Cairns CBD streetscape – but what will the finished product look like?
New artist impressions submitted to Cairns Regional Council reveal the developers’ full architectural vision for the site, right down to the logos for its restaurants.
The $120 million hotel will feature three dining choices – CC’s Bar and Grill, Colada and Milk Bar.
The latter, as its name suggests, is a playful and nostalgic throwback to that period of Australian childhoods when milkshakes, ice cream and toasted jaffles were all the rage.
CC’s Bar and Grill will be a decidedly carnivorous affair, dishing up the Crystalbrook Collection signature beef in an effort to redefine the traditional steakhouse.
“The stellar menu is derived from quality, fresh harvest that befits the earthy tone of the restaurant,” the business’s website revealed.
“Local ingredients and the finest beef are used to create the hearty, flavoursome dishes that offer exhilaration with every bite.”
The final restaurant, Colada, would aim to take diners on a journey to Mexico with bold flavours and Latin spice.
The vision for the completed Bailey had until now been limited to several artist’s impressions, with little detail on how the structure would interact with the rest of the street.
The hotel, with 217 five-star rooms and suites, is due to open its doors in September – less than a year after Crystalbrook opened its Riley hotel.
Flynn, the company’s final hotel in Cairns so far announced, is also due to open before the end of the year.
