Courtyard by Marriott Darwin is proud to partner with the Darwin Cup, bringing guests closer to one of the Northern Territory’s most anticipated annual events through a dedicated race day presence and a special accommodation package designed for racegoers and leisure travellers alike.
Running on 3 August 2026, the Darwin Cup is the culmination of the Territory’s biggest social and sporting event the Darwin Cup Carnival, drawing racegoers from across Australia for weeks of racing, fashion, entertainment and hospitality. As part of the partnership, Courtyard by Marriott Darwin will support a dedicated Courtyard by Marriott Darwin Race, celebrating the energy and colour of the Carnival while connecting with locals, visitors and the wider Darwin community.
To make the experience even easier for visitors, Courtyard by Marriott Darwin is offering an exclusive Darwin Cup Package that includes accommodation and two Darwin Cup event tickets per stay, with guests able to choose between General Admission and Premium options. Available for stays from 23 July to 7 August 2026, the package offers a seamless way to enjoy the excitement of race day while staying in the heart of Darwin CBD.
Located on Smith Street in central Darwin, Courtyard by Marriott Darwin offers convenient access to the city’s business district, restaurants and key attractions, just minutes from the Darwin Waterfront and Mitchell Street dining precinct. Designed with comfort and practicality in mind, the hotel features modern guest rooms with thoughtful amenities for both work and relaxation, making it an ideal base for visitors looking to experience the best of Darwin during Carnival season.
