More info:

 

In February 2010 Rydges Plaza Cairns will introduce LILO…A Wet Bar…the third in a series of brand new restaurant and bar precincts being rolled out Australia wide by parent company, Amalgamated Holdings Limited (AHL). 

 

AHL is Australia’s leading hospitality, leisure and entertainment company; largest cinema operator with brands Birch Carroll & Coyle Greater Union and Event Cinemas in Australia and Cinestar in Germany and Middle East.

 

Developed by AHL, in conjunction with its Rydges Hotels and Resorts brand, LILO will be the third restaurant and bar concepts to be unveiled in Australia in as many months.  Others include Locanda Italian style steakhouse restaurants in Melbourne and Canberra and Mundo tapas bars in Sydney.

 

Offering a little bit of summer all year round, LILO‘s purpose built bar flows seamlessly to the open-air terrace replete with private cabanas and swimming pool.

 

This hip new playground overlooking the buzz of Grafton Street, offers patrons the luxury of several indoor and outdoor lounging domains and dining areas that draw inspiration from  Miami while staying true to Cairns and its laidback vibe.

 

This newcomer to Cairns‘ bar scene will have its own identity, like no other…a refreshingly simple blend of great food, cool cocktails and live music on any one day or night of the week.
