Always contemporary and funky, yet never overbearing, the atmosphere in Monsoons is one of fun, pleasure and style. Monsoons welcome each guest with service second to none.
Monsoons can customise the hotel layout for individual event requirements with the shimmy of a curtain, the slide of a petition, or even just the shuffle of a few bits of furniture – depending on the number of guests and whether you want a private area, or you wish to host an event yet still be part of the lively atmosphere.
With capacity for up to 400, disabled access, a custom built stage, an advanced sound and lighting system, booth seating, lounge seating, an outdoor area and an intimate function area – Monsoons is a mix of contemporary chic and old world charm.
Monsoons, is the ultimate place in Darwin for events needing a stylish yet casual setting. So - for a big soiree, a gathering for 50, a lunch meeting for 10, or simply a drink or two with a few friends, you can't go past the comfortable cool surrounds of Monsoons.
