Lonely Planet review

The big white Novotel indeed boasts an impressive atrium. Bedecked with potted palms and vines, the lofty space has dark timber flooring, a moodily lit cocktail bar, an esteemed restaurant, fountains and plenty of discrete tables around reception where business bods meet, greet and sip coffee.
OK, OK, we know Novotel is a ubiquitous global chain and we've seen it all before, but what makes this one special is its position right on the Esplanade (the ocean views are to-die-for). And believe it or not, they manage to elevate stylistic standards well above the norm. Rooms feature subtle up- and down-lighting, fresh flowers, considerately matched wall and carpet colours, comfy furnishings and interesting indigenous-influenced wall hangings. Enjoy a room service breakfast on your balcony and breathe in the salty sea air before descending to the kidney-shaped swimming pool, one of best-looking puddles in Darwin. Off-season rates are a steal.
