Frommer's Review
This eight-floor apartment hotel, a block from Smith Street Mall and overlooking the Esplanade, is one of Darwin's most comfortable, elegant lodgings. Rich, dark cane lobby armchairs and sofas are welcoming and rooms feature sleek contemporary-style spacious studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments that boast their own private balcony with great views. Premium Harbour View apartments have an eclectic blend of Asian-style teak, mahogany, and wicker furniture. The kitchens feature new modern granite bench tops and stainless steel appliances and the two penthouses include 104-centimeter (40-in.) plasma screens with digital surround sound. An extensive upgrade to the whole hotel, completed in early 2005, includes a smart new color scheme throughout the guest rooms and a warm inviting new lobby, befitting the hotel's tropical surroundings. All rooms and apartments have city or harbor views. A pantry-stocking service does grocery shopping. Premium apartments have CD players and all apartments have separate dataports. Some rooms don't have balconies but are a generous size.
