IHG Hotels & Resorts has proudly announced the debut of its voco brand in Australia’s Northern Territory, in collaboration with JH Group. The voco Darwin Suites, an 87-key upscale hotel, is set to open its doors later this year at 87 Mitchell Street, in the heart of Darwin’s Central Business District.
This prime location places it near the Darwin Entertainment Centre and within walking distance of many attractions, including the famous Crocosaurus Cove.
The property, transformed from a repurposed commercial office building to offer an exceptional hospitality experience. It will feature an all-day dining restaurant, meeting spaces, a fitness centre, and an outdoor pool. The guest rooms, designed with both short-term and extended-stay visitors in mind, will include self-contained kitchenettes for added convenience.
voco Darwin Suites aims to provide the distinct and thoughtful characteristics for which the voco brand is celebrated. Guests will be greeted with the brand’s trademark warm welcome, including an efficient check-in process and a locally inspired treat. A dedicated voco host will be on hand to ensure guests make the most of their stay, while the comfortable rooms are perfect for some relaxing “me time.”
Cameron Burke, Director of Development for Australasia & Pacific at IHG Hotels & Resorts, expressed enthusiasm for this partnership: “We’re delighted to welcome John Halikos and the JH Group into our IHG family. This landmark agreement is pivotal to our regional growth strategy, as we bring the voco brand to Darwin for the first time. The adaptable and upscale nature of voco hotels continues to resonate with owners who value versatility and flexibility in the market, making this a fitting choice for JH Group.”
John Halikos of JH Group shared his excitement: “Partnering with IHG to introduce the voco brand to the Northern Territory is truly fantastic. This development aligns with our commitment to investing in and supporting the local community, especially during a time of growing demand for new hotels in Darwin’s Mitchell Street CBD.”
voco Darwin Suites joins an ever-expanding portfolio of voco hotels in Australasia, with five already established properties and the upcoming voco Gosford set to open later this year in New South Wales.
IHG Hotels & Resorts currently operates 69 hotels across nine brands in Australasia, including Six Senses, InterContinental, Kimpton, Vignette Collection, Hotel Indigo, Crowne Plaza, and Holiday Inn Express. With an additional 26 properties in development, the company continues its growth and innovation in the region.
