Review: Grand Hotel and Apartments Townsville

Written By Rachel Davis

Overview

Searches for Townsville hotels often show popular locations such as the Ville or Ardo - but this Australian-owned property packs just as much of a punch as the high scale operators. Friendly staff, responsible tourism initiatives an excellent proximity to Townsville highlights mean the Grand Hotel and Apartment is our top choice for accommodation in town.

Facilities & Amenities

  • Modernised rooms including high speed wifi & wireless casting to TV’s

  • Minibars featuring Townsville produce

  • Off street and secure parking

  • On site dining options

  • Gym, pool and spa

Sustainability

The sustainability initiatives at the Grand are really what give this hotel the competitive edge over nearby properties.

Standout examples include:

  • Opt-out daily housekeeping/laundry for a reduced room rate

  • Costs saved from housekeeping are donated towards local charities such as the Reef HQ Turtle Hospital

  • Air-conditioning automatic shut off if balcony door is left open

  • Regular partnerships with local Townsville businesses; promoting local produce, food and wine

  • Supporting communities through hiring locals

Booking

Booking directly through the property yields the best selection of offers and cancellation terms; including the discounted ‘eco stay’ rate for opting out of housekeeping.
