Desert Gardens Hotel, Uluru

Desert Gardens Hotel is one of the many properties within the Ayers Rock Resort, which can make it feel a little big and less personal. The tradeoff is that you'll be located in Australia's Outback and can choose a room offering views of the famous Uluru. The hotel is located less than one mile from Pioneer Lookout and is only a minute walk from the Gallery of Central Australia and Arkani Theatre.

The hotel's rooms offer a comfortable stay, and its interior design draws inspiration from its surroundings, reflecting earth tones and vibrant patterns. Garden View rooms, nestled under towering gum trees and surrounded by native shrubs and flowers, open to a calming balcony or courtyard area. For an upgrade, Deluxe Rock View rooms offer an opportunity to gaze upon Uluru right from your room. For those needing additional space or accessibility, interconnecting rooms, wheelchair-accessible rooms, and cots or cribs are available upon request.

For dining, Desert Gardens Hotel offers a unique culinary experience. Arnguli, named after the Pitjantjatjara word for bush plum, celebrates the stunning surroundings using quality Australian produce enlivened by local flavors. For a casual dining experience, head to Mangata Bistro & Bar, which serves a diverse range of light meals showcasing the finest Australian produce. You can also unwind at the bar, surrounded by the hotel's green gardens.
