Providing comfort and convenience in the heart of the city, Mantra on the Esplanade is located in a prime waterfront location on the Esplanade, overlooking Darwin Harbour. Our hotel has a range of spacious accommodation options with sweeping views across the harbour or city including Hotel Rooms and self-contained One, Two and Three Bedroom Apartments, as well as the luxurious Penthouse Suites. Take a short stroll to the neighbouring Mitchell Street; Darwin's vibrant restaurant and entertainment precinct.
