This is our luxury pick in Darwin and suits couples, business travellers and families who want reliable service in the CBD. The property lists a pool, a gym, a restaurant, family rooms and air conditioning. Guests highlight efficient, professional staff and an easy walk to the waterfront.
Skip it if your budget is tight. Guests describe the experience as luxurious but call room rates, parking and dining costs high. Our other two picks cost around €58 less a night.
Location and getting around
The address is 32 Mitchell Street, in the Darwin CBD. The location sub-score is 9.3. Guests say the waterfront, shops and restaurants are within walking distance.
St Mary's Star of the Sea Cathedral is about 0.7 km away, around 9 minutes on foot. The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory is about 3.1 km, around 39 minutes, and Charles Darwin National Park about 3.8 km, around 48 minutes. Both are far on foot, so plan on public transport, a taxi or a car. These are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 572 reviews, a smaller sample than many hotels on our site. It shared second place on review score among the 8 eligible hotels we compared.
Staff draw the most praise for friendly, helpful and efficient service. The central position is the other plus. The complaint that keeps coming back is value: high room rates and extra costs for parking and meals.
