Our family enjoys staying here. It is convenient to the Entertainment Centre which is where my daughter performs every year in her dance concert. The staff are always friendly and too happy to help. Rooms are lovely and plenty for what we need. This stay we got upgraded to a one bedroom king suite which was absolutely swank! We loved it!

Loved the area. Staff were great - friendly and helpful. I have to admit, though, to being taken aback when I saw a $9.95/day internet charge on my invoice. It had been automatically credited off the account, but I was still negatively surprised. I haven't seen a hotel that charges for WiFi in ages. Makes me have second thoughts about staying at Hilton going forward.

We were disappointed at first when unable to find waterfront accommodation but so happy we didn’t. The Doubletree Hilton was so much better. We loved the green spaces along The Esplanade and the lovely seaview from our room. Although a long walk from the waterfront, close to shops and a couple of Darwin’s best restaurants. Local bus runs behind the hotel and Uber inexpensive.Best features the great pool and wonderful staff. Special compliment to Jeffrey for a great gin and tonic.😁

Great central place to stay on the esplanade in Darwin. The buffet breakfast has something for everyone from freshly cooked eggs, pancakes, fruit, chia pudding, cereals and cooked breakfast items. The staff were fantastic and always willing to help. The pool is a great way to relax after a day of adventure. There’s a pool side bar and restaurant but is also a short walk away from other dining options and shopping.
