We chose Palmerston area rather than Darwin itself for convenience to where we needed to be. Also it was much more reasonably priced and the reviews of Darwin city hotels were generally pretty low whereas Rydges had rave reviews.
We can see why. We have stayed in many hotels both in Oz and overseas and Rydges Palmerston was right up there with the best. Everything was spotless and each detail meticulously cared for.
It’s worth visiting for the amazing indigenous artwork on all walls alone. The pool was clear and surrounds relaxing so you could have a drink or a meal from the bar while under the shaded areas as we did.
Madame Za had exceptional food and reasonably priced. The salt and pepper croc with lime aoli was delicious and also loved the barramundi curry. Pictured.
Free secure parking was a big bonus as well as free newspapers in foyer and Fox tv. The gym was well equipped and clean.
Coles and coffee club over the road at Oasis shopping centre if you want cheaper options for breakfast
We noticed full laundry facilities available with washers and dryers though we didn’t need to use them.
The only negative is we saw no attempt to encourage guests to save water and the environment by reusing towels, recycling anything. Even though I twice put notes myself to not replace towels, it was still done each day for the 5 days we were there. A complete waste.
However We would definitely stay here next time we come to Darwin.

The cost for the room was too expensive, very limited signage around the hotel to indicate where facilities were.

Fantastic hotel!! Very comfortable and clean, it’s a great spot if you’re wanting to explore the NT and not just Darwin, we did day trips to Litchfield and Adelaide River.
Great restaurant for dinner and we had lovely drinks by the pool.
We had planned to stay at a different hotel for our second weekend in Darwin after travelling to Kakadu, but we loved it so much we booked to go back here instead. Thank you!
