Marriott International and Trilogy Hotels have partnered for the first time under an agreement with Darwin-based developer DCOH to convert the Smith Hotel Darwin to a Courtyard by Marriott.
The property at 81 Smith Street will rebrand to Courtyard by Mariott Darwin in the first quarter of 2025 when the first phase of an extensive renovation is complete, marking Marriott International’s first property in the Northern Territory.
The final phase of the conversion project is slated for completion in 2027.
The signing follows the establishment of a multi-property deal between Trilogy Hotels and DCOH, announced in October 2024.
“When it comes to unlocking the full potential of our key CBD assets under Trilogy, the Darwin community deserves the very best, and that means bringing an outstanding global brand like Marriott to the Darwin marketplace,” said DCOH Managing Director, Shane Dignan.
“As a proud Northern Territory hotel owner, we’re eager to highlight what makes Darwin a unique and special destination as part of the hotel’s transformation.”
Courtyard by Marriott Darwin will feature 186 guest rooms, an outdoor pool, rooftop gym, and a restaurant serving modern Australian-Asian cuisine.
Marriott International’s Vice President of Hotel Development for Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific, Richard Crawford, said “expansion into Darwin has been a priority” as the business seeks to grow its footprint in Australia.
“The power of Marriott International’s leading distribution platforms and unmatched loyalty program, Marriott Bonvoy, is fuelling unprecedented interest from independent and competitor-branded hotels eager to join Marriott’s global portfolio,” Crawford said.
“Around 40% of our global hotel signings in 2024 across the Asia Pacific region will be existing hotels seeking to maximise their competitive advantages and future proof their success.”
Trilogy Hotels CEO, Scott Boyes, said the two hospitality companies will work closely together to drive positive outcomes for the property
“We are thrilled to be bringing Marriott to Darwin, and in a big way, to a proudly locally owned hotel.
“Trilogy will work closely with Marriott to maximise the unique opportunities this market holds.”
The Courtyard by Marriott brand has the largest global footprint of all of Marriott International’s 30+ brands and offers a broad appeal, according to Marriott International’s Director of Hotel Development for Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific, Tristan Cooper.
“We are very confident that our 219 million Marriott Bonvoy members across the world will be an important customer base for our latest offering,” Cooper said.
“Darwin enjoys strong proven demand from leisure, corporate, government, defence, and special events markets, which will be central to our vision to take what is already a fine hotel to the next level of excellence and success.”
Hospitality NT, CEO, Cathy Simmonds, is confident that this latest investment signals further growth ahead for the region.
“It’s great to see this huge signal of investor confidence in Darwin’s thriving hospitality scene,” Simmonds said.
“Bringing another global name like Marriott to the Territory is a sign of growth to come, meaning new opportunities and experiences for locals and visitors alike.”
