“I think this hotel truly shines with its prime location-Darwin CBD at its doorstep, Mitchell Street's buzz is just steps away. The Mediterranean-inspired dining with local flair is a smart touch, especially by that inviting pool. It strikes me as a solid choice, whether for unwinding or getting down to business.”
