Hotels in Queensland, Australia

Queensland is Australia's northeastern state, boasting a tropical climate with warm winters (around 70°F / 21°C) and hot, humid summers (up to 90°F / 32°C). It's world-famous for the Great Barrier Reef, where you can snorkel off Cairns from June to October for clear waters and fewer stingers. In the winter months, explore Brisbane's riverside markets or hike the Daintree Rainforest canopy, while summer brings surfing at Gold Coast's Kirra Beach and cheaper stays in the Whitsundays.
