Darwin Hotels

There is a wide range of hotels in Darwin, but cheap stays are available when rates drop dramatically in 'The Wet', from November through to March. So if you don't mind a drenching in high humidity, you can be assured of picking up a bargain.

The Darwin hotels below have been grouped into three different pricing categories:
Luxury (over A$200)
Moderate (A$100 to A$199)
Cheap (up to A$100)

These prices are for a double room per night and include all taxes but not breakfast, unless specified otherwise.

Luxury

Mantra Pandanas

Neatly situated in the heart of the city, Mantra Pandanas has 336 hotel rooms as well as one- and two-bedroom apartments, some with private balconies overlooking the harbour and city. Expect a chic tropical style, evident in the modern rooms and down at the pool, which features its own waterfall.

Skycity Darwin

It's always a gamble staying at a casino, especially if you're open to temptations. This place is a winner, though. It's a casino hotel set among 7 hectares (17 acres) of tropical beachside gardens. There is a selection of dining options on-site as well as a pool. It's also very close to the Mindil Beach Markets.

Moderate

Novotel Darwin CBD

Formerly the Novotel Darwin Atrium, this mid-range hotel overlooks the coast and sits a short stroll from the buzz of Mitchell Street. There are 140 rooms in total, and they're nice enough to make the relatively affordable price a big draw. It also has what it refers to as a "tropical indoor rainforest" – not many crocs to be found, though.
