Located right in the heart of town, Metro Advance Apartments & Hotel Darwin is perfectly situated for an easy night in or out. If you would like to self-cater in your apartment, there is a Woolworth’s located a two minute walk from the hotel, but if you’re feeling up for a great meal out, Darwin has plenty to offer.
Because of it’s close proximity to Asia, Darwin excels at Asian cuisines and because of a large international tourist market, there are also plenty of traditional Aussie pubs to cool off in.
One of Darwin’s longest established restaurant is Hanuman. With a menu that ranges from Southern India across to Thailand, and a kitchen team that grows a lot of its own spices, herbs and vegetables, what you get on the plate is a powerhouse of fresh flavours, served alongside deftly mixed cocktails with a tropical tang.
