Hilton is set to make its debut in Queensland’s Palm Cove in 2026 following the signing of Hilton Palm Cove Cairns Resort and Spa, under a management agreement with Tyche Asset Management.

The 140-room resort is located in the heart of the tropical coastal village, 40 minutes south of Port Douglas and 25 minutes of Cairns, where the company operates Hilton and DoubleTree properties.

“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 Hilton Area Vice President APAC and Head of Australasia, Paul Hutton.

Prior to its opening in Q1 2026, the hotel will be fully refurbished and will feature an outdoor pool, two dining outlets, including one all-day dining restaurant, two bars (one being a pool bar), a kids club, fitness centre, spa, and 450sqm of function and meeting space.

Hilton Regional Director, Development, Australasia, Tushar Raniga, said the signing reflects Hilton’s 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 and Spa is set to become a standout resort, attracting both domestic and international travelers to this beautiful region,” Raniga said.

Hotel and Tyche Investments Owner, Diana Ren, expressed her confidence in the partnership.

“We are excited to partner with Hilton to launch Hilton Palm Cove Cairns Resort and Spa,” she said.

“Hilton’s world-renown reputation and expertise will elevate the local tourism market, increasing Palm Cove’s national and international recognition which will certainly benefit the local economy.”
