The hype
Travelers are relieved to find modern, renovated rooms and a great pool, but often grumble about the distance to town.
Doubletree By Hilton Alice Springs
$100-170/ notte
Prenota se You want the most reliable full-service hotel in the Red Centre and don't mind being a 5-minute drive from the town center.
Perché piace così tanto
- Hanuman restaurant on-site is arguably the best dining in Alice Springs
- Reliable 4-star standards in a region where accommodation can be hit-or-miss
- Mountain View rooms offer genuine stunning outlooks of the MacDonnell Ranges
In sintesi: It's the best hotel in town, but that's a low bar—expect a solid business hotel with a screaming peacock and a location that demands a rental car.
Recensito da @lensofdania: I stayed here during my conference week and it was the perfect reset. The room was spacious enough to spread out all my gear, and the breakfast buffet was exactly what I needed before long days. It felt like a proper retreat in the middle of the desert.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
The 'heated' pool is technically heated, but in the dead of Alice Springs winter (July), it's still for the brave.
- You are a Hilton Honors loyalist wanting your cookie fix in the Outback
- You need secure, gated parking for your rental car or caravan
- You are attending an event at the adjacent Convention Centre
Pulizia e manutenzione
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service. Staff are praised for being friendly and thorough.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly sparkling post-2020 renovation. Check grout lines in corners; isolated past reports of mold in suites.
- Maintenance: Good condition. The 2020 refurb updated the tired 80s vibe to modern standards.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and standard Hilton quality. 'Sweet Dreams' beds are consistently rated comfortable.
- Odors & scents: Neutral. No lingering smoke smells reported recently, just the dry dust of the Outback.

Prima di prenotare
Buono a sapersi
- Breakfast is not included in standard rates and costs ~$29 AUD per person.
- The hotel went through a $6M renovation in 2020, so rooms feel fresher than most in town.
- Secure parking is free and gated (key card access), a huge plus here.
Cosa portare
- Earplugs (for the peacocks)
- Moisturizer (the desert air is incredibly dry)
- Swimsuit (pool is nice year-round visually, even if too cold to swim in winter)
Genio delle camere
Migliori scelte
- Mountain View King (Upper Floor): Unobstructed views of the MacDonnell Ranges, worth the upgrade.
- Garden View rooms: Nice outlook but closer to the pool and peacock noise.
Camere da evitare
- Ground floor rooms near the pool if you value privacy and silence (peacocks + kids).
- Connecting rooms if you aren't booking both sides (sound bleed).
Genio delle richieste camera – copia e incolla
“I would appreciate an upper-floor room facing the MacDonnell Ranges (Mountain View). Please avoid connecting rooms if possible, and place us away from the elevator for a quieter stay.”
FAQ e consigli nascosti
Tutto ciò che vuoi davvero sapere prima di prenotare.
Is the pool actually heated?
Yes, but 'heated' fights a losing battle against desert winter nights. It's pleasant in shoulder seasons, chilly in July.
Can I walk to town?
Physically yes (20 mins), but safety-wise it is strongly advised against, especially after dark. Drive or cab it.
Is breakfast worth it?
It's a decent buffet spread (Saltbush restaurant), but for better coffee and food, drive 5 mins to Bean Tree Cafe.
Are there peacocks?
Yes. They are beautiful to look at and terrible to listen to. They roam freely.
Is there a resort fee?
No resort fee, but there is a 1.7% credit card surcharge.
Is the internet fast?
Free WiFi is available in public areas; in-room WiFi is often a paid tier unless you are a Hilton Honors member.
