As a result of Covid-19 an international resort hotel in Cairns, Australia has lost a lot of patronage and has been closed for refurbishment during the pandemic and resulting lockdowns. It is planned to re-open and re-launch the hotel for the upcoming Australian summer on November 1st, 2021. The property will continue to trade on its reputation as a top of the range 5-star hotel. Following the renovation, the hotel has been valued at $700 million.
