Skycity Resort Darwin is the third large scale Australian resort hotel delivered by Grounds Kent Architects. The resort comprises 32 Lagoon side and Lagoon view guest rooms. Two high roller rooms with attached private gaming suites occupy a private lagoon side location offering a unique exclusive gaming experience.

The lagoon side rooms have private sun decks and direct access to the pool and swim up bar.

The central facilities include 3 bars, a restaurant and a full service day spa. The rooms and facilities are arranged around a large central lagoon which includes an island and a white sand beach.

The architectural treatment is modern tropical with a distinctly Australian flavour. Passive cooling via cross ventilation coupled with the use of ceiling fans, allow guests to enjoy the true Darwin climate experience as an optional alternative to air conditioning.

GKA also undertook the interior design for the resort and drew upon a rich palette of materials and finishes from local and international sources to create a truly unique resort experience for Darwin.
