Halikos Group Managing Director, Shane Dignan, says the company is strongly committed to the ongoing development of the Northern Territory and Darwin as a major tourism destination.

"The H Hotel has been designed to accommodate the diverse needs of today's travellers, with a variety of room options including standard and deluxe rooms as well as suites, 24 hour reception and room service and wireless internet access and Cable TV in each room," Shane Dignan said.

"Last year Lonely Planet named Darwin as one of the Top Ten Cities to Visit in the World. As a long term local resident and businessman I am delighted to be able to help spread the word about Darwin's growing capabilities as an exciting destination for travellers.

"The Halikos Hospitality team is thrilled to be adding the new H Hotel to its expanding hospitality portfolio which already includes the Frontier Hotel, Top End Hotel, One 30 Esplanade Apartments and the C2 Esplanade Apartments,' Shane Dignan said.
