This multi award winning hotel is perfect for business or pleasure.
New Expansion: Works has commenced on the extention of the new 5 star resort. We anticipate completion in July 2012.
As the new resort is being constructed next to the existing Hotel, we do anticipate some noise and dust, which will affect the hotel during the business hours of 7.00am and 6.00pm Monday to Saturday. Please note that there will be no work taking place on Sundays.

Much prefer to stay here. I like the iPhone/iPod docking station in the room. This is one of the better hotels for Darwin, it is away from the noisy back packers, and is recently renovated.

Stayed in the 1 bedroom suite.
Stayed in the 1 bedroom suite. Room was pretty good/spacious - but had a few issues. Biggest complaint though was the 'supposed' heated pool which by global standards was not heated - and was in fact far to cold to swim in for majority of our stay (except for one day when it was very hot). It was set to bone chilling 22-23 degrees - wheras upon searching internet found that heated pools should normally be around 27-28 degrees (27 for lap pool, 28 for recreational use). This was pretty annoying as coming from cold climate (Melbourne) we were really looking forward to swimming - one of the reasons we chose this place over others was it being advertised as having 'largest heated pool in darwin' (which was very misleading as pool would have been this temp without any heating). Staff were quite unwilling to do anything about this - and noticed pretty much nobody was using pool while we were there. Also internet very poor - unable to use it for Skype calls.

Looking a bit tired by today's standard
We stayed in the hotel 6 years ago. But it has lost much of its gloss, looking more like a motel than a supposed 5 star hotel. Our room must have had the worst view in the complex ... looking over a canvas covered mound of dirt. No view of the sea or city. The buffet meals were ok though and good value. Of course the Casino as part of the hotel was convenient for a flutter. Management will lose returning customers in our opinion, unless they treat all their customers with the room standards they expect. We won't be staying there again.

Entertainment tip:
Short drive from hotel
Unless you wish to play in the Casino, we suggest you stay in the city centre with the convenience of walking to all attractions and views of the city and sea.

We have stayed at this hotel a
We have stayed at this hotel a number of times now and will continue to do so. The hotel staff are always friendly and helpful and the facilities are more than adequate. The seafood buffet for dinner is great value. The pool overlooks the beach and you can enjoy a cocktail sitting in the pool watching the sunset ... just magical. The hotel provides a bus service to the town but it is easier to have your own transport, the shops are not close by. This hotel is ideal for a relaxing time-out holiday.

Skycity Darwin is in a great location
Skycity Darwin is in a great location on the beach and the best thing about the hotel is the swimming pool and adjoining area. The rooms/accommodation is very tired and frankly very poor for a so called '5 star' hotel!! Finally it is always freezing anywhere indoors.

I thought it was okay but not
I thought it was okay but not great for a supposedly five star rating, they ordered my airport taxi for the wrong night and woke me up at midnight to find that out, reception staff average and not friendly, room was clean and spacious, nicely appointed but hotel overall a bit tired and dated, location was hopeless, it may be near the beach (which never had anyone on it!!) but not near anything else, they did have free shuttle into Darwin which helped but you felt quite isolated.
