10 Best Hotels
Perth pairs a riverfront city with a coast that rarely feels far away. Elizabeth Quay puts the Swan River at the centre of the picture, while Kings Park opens up views across the city and water. Fremantle brings port history, old streets and a character of its own; the Swan Valley adds wineries and long lunches. Stay centrally for city dining and galleries, or choose Fremantle if you prefer to spend more time around the harbour.
COMO The Treasury
Perth CBD, Australia
COMO The Treasury brings a notably calm sensibility to Perth’s historic State Buildings. Kerry Hill’s light-filled rooms balance generous proportions with restrained contemporary design, while the setting places dining and city exploration close at hand. An indoor pool and COMO Shambhala wellness facilities make staying in equally appealing. This is a strong choice for travellers who value thoughtful architecture and attentive comfort, with Wildflower providing a compelling reason to reserve an evening at the hotel.
Understated heritage luxury
The Ritz-Carlton, Perth

Hearth adds a dining experience centred on Western Australian produce. Choose this hotel for a polished city break in which water views and an easy connection to the quay matter.

InterContinental Perth City Centre
Perth CBD, Australia
InterContinental Perth City Centre combines a convenient King and Hay Street location with interiors that have more personality than a conventional business hotel.

Dining moves between tapas at Heno & Rey and the wood-fired cooking of Ascua. It is a practical choice for travellers who want shopping, restaurants and city appointments within easy reach.

Garde and Warders Hotel
Fremantle, Australia
Garde and Warders offers a distinctive Fremantle base, combining a contemporary hotel with the historic Warders Cottages.

This is a particularly appealing alternative for travellers who would rather stay in Fremantle than commute from central Perth.
Heritage character in Fremantle
Maya Maya at Mandoon Estate
Caversham, Swan Valley, Australia
Maya Maya makes the Swan Valley a place to stay rather than simply visit for lunch. Its small collection of rooms sits within Mandoon Estate, overlooking old vines and the Swan River, with balconies or terraces encouraging time outdoors. Wine, dining and the estate grounds shape the experience, giving a weekend an easy rhythm. Choose it for a food-focused escape with a quieter setting, while keeping Perth’s city attractions for a separately planned outing.
A vineyard stay close to Perth
Alex Hotel
Northbridge, Australia
Alex Hotel is built around the pleasures of neighbourhood discovery and comfortable shared spaces. In Northbridge, it places guests close to Perth’s cultural scene, with communal lounges and a rooftop area encouraging time beyond the bedroom. The rooms are deliberately restrained, while the hotel’s food, drink and local knowledge give the stay its personality. It is best for curious travellers who prefer a thoughtfully designed boutique base to a large resort with extensive leisure facilities.
A sociable boutique near cultural venues
The Melbourne Hotel
Perth CBD, Australia
The Melbourne Hotel combines an established Perth address with two distinct approaches to accommodation. Heritage rooms retain a stronger connection to the building’s past, while the contemporary collection offers a more modern interpretation of the stay. That choice is part of its appeal: travellers can prioritise atmosphere or a cleaner contemporary setting without changing location. Consider a heritage suite for a characterful city break, and review the individual layout before deciding which room best suits the trip.
