PORT MORESBY
In the Nation’s Capital – Port Moresby, world class hotels exist and combine modern rooms with fitness facilities, meeting spaces and Melanesian Hospitality. Port Moresby does not have the best reputation when it comes to personal security and as in just about every city in the world there are areas where tourists and business people alike simply should not go.
All the hotels that we recommend are secure, include shuttle bus transfers from and to Jackson’s International Airport and are conveniently located to enable you to meet either with government departments or your business contacts. From a leisure travel perspective, the rates charged by the Port Moresby hotels may seem excessive but with high costs, and massive infrastructure and mining developments underway demand for these hotels always exceeds the available supply.
Depending on your final or onward destination in Papua New Guinea, airline schedules may conspire to require you to spend a night or two in Port Moresby – there are two hotels a short drive from the airport but if you have time pay a visit to and stay in the City – overlooking the harbour or out near Parliament House at Waigani. High Season rates exist just about all year round but are even higher around ANZAC day when Kokoda trekkers return to Port Moresby to commemorate ANZAC Day at Bomana War Cemetery.
