A man charged with the alleged "domestic-related" murder of his partner outside a Darwin CBD hotel on Friday has been remanded in custody after appearing court for the first time.

Dennis Malambula Naroldol , 56, made no application for bail when he appeared before the Darwin Local Court on Monday.

Police allege that Mr Naroldol fatally stabbed the victim, a 51-year-old woman, on Darwin's Esplanade about 6pm on Friday.

The woman sought help at the nearby Hilton DoubleTree hotel, where bystanders offered assistance.

Paramedics who attended were able to re-start the woman's heart and she was transported to hospital in a critical condition.

She later died in hospital.

Mr Naroldol was arrested at the scene, and on Saturday night he was charged with murder.

He remains in custody, with the matter adjourned until June 14.
