This waterfront property has the best of Perth on its doorstep – literally. Elizabeth Quay (Gumap) and its glittering marina views are right at The Ritz-Carlton, Perth’s feet, while the heritage buildings of the CBD are only a few minutes walk away. The generous rooms (none are under a spacious 50 square metres) take in the views through floor-to-ceiling windows, but the best place to admire the city from is the sprawling rooftop infinity pool.

Few stays come quite as chic as COMO The Treasury, a luxurious property housed in the mid-19th century buildings of Cathedral Square. Blonde wood furniture, enormous bathrooms with sinfully deep soaking tubs and a superlative on-site eatery confirm COMO as one of the best hotels in the country, let alone the city. (And we haven’t mentioned the spa yet).

The quintessential QT quirk is here at this Perth outpost, fused with a little WA flair. Black marble, jarrah hardwood floors and arresting art confirm it as a one-of-a-kind stay at the QT Perth in the centre of the city, crowned by a rooftop bar 18 levels up with sweeping views of the surrounding CBD.

Cool kids stay at Alex Hotel, a boutique-feel stay decked out in designer wares just north of the CBD in Northbridge. Don’t retreat to your room; the communal spaces are where all the fun is.

The grand marble lobby of Parmelia Hilton certainly sets the scene for an indulgent stay in the heart of the CBD. Everything in this high-tech hotel is unlocked by digital key (via an app on your phone), a cool and fuss-free way of accessing the minimalist rooms as well as the outdoor swimming pool and gym. That’s not the only seamless transition: the hotel now has a direct bridgeway to dining and shopping precinct Brookfield Place for travellers seeking a little retail therapy.

The biggest drawcard of Perth’s Crown Towers is its proximity to the city’s hottest fine-diners. Nobu, Rockpool Bar & Grill and Bistro Guillaume all reside within the Crown complex and are, most importantly, just a lift ride away from your plush room of floor-to-ceiling windows, enormous marble bathrooms and generous bathtubs.

An outdoor leisure area, complete with heated rooftop pool, sun loungers and skyline views, makes Mercure Perth a solid city stay with a difference. The east-end property has a few more surprises waiting inside, especially for those who book a Privilege Room or Suite – the comfort of Nespresso machines, slippers and chocolates greet guests on arrival.

Dressed in the colours of WA’s landscape, Crown Promenade hits all the right notes for an elegant stay just east of Perth CBD. Casino and epic on-site eateries aside, the rooms are where the real indulgence happens: buttery linens and meltingly soft mattresses makes this stay a superb one.

There are hundreds of artworks adorning the grand InterContinental Perth City Centre. Sleek, gold-flecked interiors create an instant feeling of calm, while the selection of trendy on-site eateries — from the lively Heno & Rey to the moody Ascua — generates the buzz.

From the top floors of DoubleTree Hilton Perth Waterfront, all of Perth comes into glittering view. Suites on these uppermost levels have the best vistas (and soaking tubs, to boot) but the sight can be equally enjoyed from the chic rooftop space, which includes an infinity-style heated lap pool lined by tempting sun loungers turned directly towards the deep blue of Swan River.

Following a major renovation completed in September 2024, the Duxton Hotel unveiled a series of new spaces including an opulent club lounge, redesigned Club Rooms and an extended presidential suite with Swan River views, all kitted out with minimalist furniture by Cottlesloe-based designer, Bethany James. Its experimental steakhouse, Firewater Grille, remains a popular mainstay of the city's dining scene – but be sure to leave room for one of the decadent desserts on offer. Our pick? The "Golden Gay Time": layers of honeycomb ganache, scented lavender choux sponge and almond praline crunch with Kinder Bueno cream, dairy namelaka and raspeberry gel. 

Views to the Swan River are uninterrupted from Crowne Plaza Perth, a property at the very edge of the city’s foreshore. The outdoor pool, bordered with lazy palms, looks directly out to the water and over the green expanse of Langley Park, giving guests the feeling they’re not near the city, when in fact the CBD is mere metres from the front door.

Located on Adelaide Terrace in the CBD, Pan Pacific Perth is one of the city's best stays for business travellers, with pillow menus, a 24-hour gym, heated pool, business centre and four eateries on offer, ensuring all your needs are met on-site.
