2 Best Hotels in Darwin, The Outback

Situated along Darwin’s magnificent Esplanade, just one block from all the action on Mitchell Street, this hotel offers a green tropical oasis in its lobby, a charming bar and restaurant in the vine-filled atrium, and rooms that overlook the park and the bright blue waters below. The Wi-Fi is free, and you’ll have enough room to spread out in your well-appointed room, whether you’re traveling solo, with your partner, or have the whole family in tow.

This good-value hotel, which is partly Indigenous-owned, overlooks the Darwin Wave Pool and Lagoon and puts you right in the heart of the busy Waterfront precinct. Rooms are a little on the small side (though bright and cheerful), and on-site facilities include an alfresco cocktail bar, a casual restaurant, a gym, and a small lap pool.
