Outstanding hotel stays for your next visit to Perth

Perth is a city of contrasts. Its dense and vibrant CBD charges on at all hours of the day, as the waves of the Indian Ocean lick at Scarborough beach’s white shores. Whatever you’re looking for on your next visit to Perth, the city caters to all with a growing selection of luxury hotels to call home. 

From design-led boutique stays to understated luxe escapes, these are the best Perth hotels.

Como The Treasury

Housed in the city’s charming red brick State Buildings, this urban escape is a welcome complement to Perth’s skyscrapers, offering respite from the energy outside. Step inside Como The Treasury and you’ll be welcomed by the perfect balance of modernity, history, and thoughtful design details: natural wood interiors, light-filled rooms and soaring high ceilings.

Dining destinations include the modern Italian Post and Wildflower, which offers seasonal menus which spotlight locally farmed and foraged ingredients. Don’t miss the striking indoor pool, framed by floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

QT Perth 

Bold colours and patterns announce your arrival at QT Perth, where playful elements such as cockatoo wallpaper and gemstone velvets bring big doses of personality. You’ll find Perth’s coolest gathering under Santini Bar’s mirrored ceilings, while crowds are drawn up to the rooftop to drink in the city’s skyline at night.  

In the guestrooms, unique touches including golden crustacean statues and dark marble bathrooms create a sanctuary with a lavish ivory bed at its centre.

Alex Hotel

Creativity is the name of the game at the Alex Hotel, a boutique hotel that champions Australian design. Dark tones and vaulted ceilings dominate at the aptly named Shadow Wine Bar and Dining Room, while muted pastels bring tranquillity to cosy guestrooms of all sizes.

The Lobby Bar is a must-visit for locally roasted artisan coffees; in the evening, head up to the rooftop for sundowners in a stunning setting. Take their complimentary bikes out for a spin and explore the city on two wheels.

Crown Towers Perth

This glamorous towering building is the most expensive Australian hotel ever built – and certainly lives up to the hype. A grand sandstone lobby lined with dried native Australian plants draws guests in to explore the multi-tiered lagoon pools and get lost among its 20 dining and bar destinations.  

The jewel in this Crown resorts complex is its elegant rooms, which offer breathtaking vistas of the Swan River and luxurious free-standing baths to soak in after a day spent sightseeing. You’ll also find celebrity-favourite restaurant Nobu on-site and helicopter tours available for guests.

The Ritz Carlton, Perth

Watch the still waters of Elizabeth Quay unravel beneath you from The Ritz Carlton, Perth’s sleek rooms, which boast sweeping views of the Swan River and Perth’s skyline from their floor-to-ceiling windows. The lobby, adorned with pottery fragments and artistic chandeliers, makes a real impression – as does their rooftop infinity pool. Hearth Restaurant is a must-visit for an upscale tribute to a beloved Australian pastime: cooking over fire.

Sophisticated rooms filled with warm woods and plush beds provide comforting escapes, especially in their one-bedroom suites which are furnished with jewel-toned armchairs – perfect for curling up with a good book. 

Duxton Hotel Perth

Bleisure gets a luxe upgrade at the Duxton Hotel Perth, where vast rooms and a Club Lounge overlooking the Swan River create the ideal remote working sanctuary. The hotel also boasts a 24-hour gym equipped with Peleton bikes for those keen to squeeze in a workout.

Situated on the cusp of the river, this smart hotel offers easy access to the CBD – though you’ll be forgiven for opting to spend your time at the gorgeous outdoor pool, rather than pounding Perth’s pavements. 

Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough

Wake up to the sound of rolling waves and the sight of soft, white sand beaches at Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough, a magnificent beachfront property just 15 minutes from Perth’s CBD. 

It’s welcomed VIPs to the city for the past three decades – including Michael Jackson who once played on the hotel’s grand piano – and continues to impress guests with its lagoon pools, tennis courts and panoramic balcony views. Be sure to make a reservation at the Straits Cafe, a restaurant specialising in Aussie delights.
