Pullman Reef Hotel Casino is delighted to announce it has achieved a triple accolade with a double win at the prestigious 2020 World Luxury Hotel Awards and a win at the Restaurant & Catering Industry Association of Australia’s 2020 QLD Awards for Excellence.

At the 2020 World Luxury Hotel Awards earlier this month, the luxury Cairns hotel has been awarded the coveted title of winner in the Australia & Oceania Luxury Casino Hotel category and its signature restaurant, Tamarind Restaurant, took first place in the Australia & Oceania Fusion Cuisine category.

Also this month, Tamarind Restaurant has been voted the best restaurant in a Queensland Club/Hotel/Casino at the Restaurant & Catering Industry Association of Australia’s 2020 QLD Awards for Excellence.

Pullman Reef Hotel Casino General Manager, Wayne Reynolds, said: “I could not be more proud to receive such prestigious awards. To be recognised both locally in Queensland, and on the international stage, is such a great accolade for our hotel and restaurant teams. It is also great recognition for the city of Cairns and the entire Great Barrier Reef region.”

Positioned alongside the picturesque Trinity Inlet and enjoying both city and water views, the Pullman Reef Hotel Casino is the most prestigious hotel in Cairns and the greater Tropical North Queensland region.

The five-star hotel facilities include a rooftop swimming pool, sauna and a gymnasium, one of Australia’s finest boutique casinos, excellent dining experiences and bars, live entertainment, conference venues, banqueting facilities and a domed rooftop wildlife and ropes course immersion experience which is home to complex ambassador Goliath – a 4.5m estuarine crocodile.

Led by Executive Chef John Crank and guided by Sous Chef Graeme Miles, Tamarind Restaurant is the most awarded restaurant in Cairns. It is the only restaurant in Cairns to hold a coveted Chef Hat Award from the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) – an award renowned for recognising exceptional chefs and food excellence. It is a worthy recipient of these awards, recognising the team’s exceptional performance, passion and dedication in creating the unique Tamarind Restaurant experience.
