Recently rebranded from the holiday inn. Nice and bright hotel, right by the water. Tropical gardens with a nice pool and restaurant. Nice touches such as a cookie on arrival and willing to help with anything you need. Also knowledgable on things to do in the Darwin area. Would definitely stay here if I was coming again to Darwin.

We booked a Holiday Inn and by the time we got there, the hotel was a DoubleTree. Not a big problem but as there are TWO hotels side by side with the same name (hello?? Hilton Marketing?? does anyone care about the concept of Change management?) we had to investigate (with our cabbie's assistance) which was our hotel. The room... More

This hotel is in a great spot, over looking the water and a well maintained parklands area. It is in easy walking distance to Mitchell St which has a large range of restaurants and bars to pass an afternoon in Darwin. The hotel is showing it age. It seems to have had some updates but I think there is still... More

Dear ddh04 Thank you for your comments. DoubleTree by Hilton assumed operation of the property on 1 May. We do have some rennovations and modernisation of the building planned to commence in the last quarter of this year. I do hope that you will come and stay with us again when you are next in Darwin.

Having booked and paid for this hotel some months ago, there was confusion when we arrived in on Sunday night for a 5 night stay. Apparently the hotel had recently changed names and put in new management (of which we were unaware) and our booking had not been transferred from the old computer system to the new one. No problem... More

On arrival there was some confusion as two hotels with the same name next door to each other, natrually one cheaper than the other. Anyway, checked in with ease, room on 10th floor with side view of harbour on a balcony that couldn't pass any health and safety law if it tried. Bathroom basic and so dark, air con noisy,... More

Situated in a fantastic location with beautiful views from the King Harbour View rooms. Nightlife, restaurants, pubs and shopping centre are all walking distance. Very relaxing and lucky to have access to the facilities of both Holiday Inns. Rooms are very clean and good selection of in-house new release movies for those quiet moments in.
