Loloata Island Resort
Port Moresby · 68 rooms
An island resort outside the city with 68 rooms, a private beach and two restaurants, a favorite with travelers seeking stylish accommodation.
Port Moresby is the capital and main international gateway, a hilly, coastal city on the Coral Sea with a national museum, a botanic garden with orchids and the Parliament building decorated in the style of a haus tambaran. Most visitors pass through on the way to the highlands, the Sepik or the islands, and a good night's rest matters.
Where to stay

Loloata Island Resort, a short boat ride from town, has 68 rooms, a private beach and two restaurants. The Stanley Hotel & Suites is a luxury business hotel with 429 rooms, not a boutique.
