Important anniversary coming up? Need to get away from the kids for a night? Looking for a glamorous girl’s weekend and spa day? Perth has a few luxury hotel gems dotted about that make for the perfect Perth staycation for every occasion. You’ll be able to explore all the lively city has to offer, while also getting pampered, sipping on cocktails in the lobby bar, and loving that glamorous hotel stay feeling. Here’s a guide to 15 of the best places for a staycation in Perth.
COMO The Treasury
COMO The Treasury is the height of elegance in the heart of the CBD.
It’s one of the most exclusive stays around town, and worth every penny in our opinion. It occupies space in the highly-regarded State Buildings, whose lavish dining scene you may be already acquainted with — Long Chim, one of Perth’s best Italian restaurants, Post, or fine dining leaders, Wildflower.
Making use of its surroundings, the hotel integrates 19th-century features with a modern take to give off a kind of old-school luxury charm.
All of the rooms are exquisitely spacious, and a soak in the bath with COMO Shambala bath salts will have you unwinding in no time.
Samphire Rottnest
If you want something a little bit fancy, Samphire is Rottnest’s best luxury accommodation, offering dreamy ocean vistas of Thomson Bay and only a short walk from the main jetty.
Their signature restaurant, Lontara, is fantastic and offers a menu inspired by the flavours of Asia’s south east archipelagos.
And for a little treat, say yes to in-room massage and beauty treatments.
QT Perth
QT Perth has a different look and feel to your usual crisp white hotel staycay, leaning more into the boutique and quirky side of things, while still maintaining a mood of glamour.
The rooms are textured with purples and golds, featuring fun wallpaper, jarrah timber flooring, polished brass accents, and a very inviting black marble bathroom with a deep free-standing bath as the centrepiece.
If you do stay, you’ll have to take your night up to Rooftop at QT — skyline views, dazzling lights, and a menu of carefully selected cocktail creations like the Yuzu Daisuki or Bearded Duchess, which is a savoury twist on a classic dry martini.
The Westin
This upscale hotel is just a short walk from all the major attractions around the CBD, and it features a unique infinity-edged rooftop pool area.
The rooms are a reflection of its 5-star standing with crisp whites and sophisticated modern luxury. And the cloud-like bed will make sure your sleep is of only the best quality. You’ll also be able to get your rest and relaxation at the Bodhi spa or 24-hour fitness centre. Then fill up on drool-worthy Italian cuisine from the award-winning Garum by Guy Grossi.
The Ritz-Carlton, Perth
There is nothing quite so wow factor as stepping into the lobby of The Ritz-Carlton. And that jaw drop stays all the way up to the luxuriously appointed rooms.
You’ll have sweeping views over the Swan River and city from your large, comfortable bed, and find all the five-star amenities expected from the world-renowned hotel brand.
A stay here is particularly popular with couples. So if you have an anniversary coming up, it could be the perfect excuse for a romantic getaway.
Dining-wise, you can find some absolutely deluxe cocktails at Hearth. Or head up a few levels to Songbird Bar on selected days for more creative concoctions and glamorous skyline views.
Alex Hotel
Alex Hotel is the premium hotel in Northbridge and leans more towards those who enjoy the more casual pleasures of eating, drinking, and the arts.
Though the boutique space isn’t as luxurious as other hotels mentioned, it has a homely, cool kind of vibe that suits those looking for less of the glitz and more of the urban lifestyle. The rooms are cute and practical, and the living space acts as a communal area to grab a cuppa or sit back with a glass of wine.
You can also find one of our fave Perth wine bars on site — Shadow Wine Bar, serving up only the best local and European drops alongside a menu of modern dishes made with fresh WA produce.
Crown Towers
Yes, a stay at Crown Towers in Perth is very cliché, but if you haven’t booked a little staycay here, are you even a local?
There’s a reason this is Perth’s premier destination for a luxe getaway, and the alluring rooms are just the beginning. It’s more about what you can do here, including lounging around by the pool, cocktails at The Waiting Room, and feasting on buffet cuisine at Epicurean. Not to mention sinking into spa relaxation, fine dining at destinations like Rockpool or Nobu, or catching a theatre show.
InterContinental Perth
Location is a huge seller for InterContinental Perth City Centre. It’s merely 600 metres from Elizabeth Quay and right in the heart of the CBD.
Rooms here have an understated sophistication while dining options are plentiful, ranging from on-site restaurants Heno & Rey, serving up tapas and homemade sangria, and Ascua, Perth’s best Spanish grill, to places like Meat and Wine Co, Heritage Wine Bar, or Shafto Lane eats just nearby.
Parmelia Hilton
Parmelia Hilton had quite the facelift not too long ago with a few million dollars spent on a renovation. And it certainly shines through during a stay!
The interior of the suites is an old-style meets modern chic. Think marble stone benchtops, dim lighting, and dark wood furnishing. Paired with a simple palette of brown, grey, beige, and a pop of burgundy. And if you’re keen to splurge on your Perth staycay, we’d definitely recommend opting for the King Premier Suite.
A stay here also has to be accompanied by a visit to the on-site restaurant, Samuel On Mills. Inspired modern cuisine makes the most of local Western Australian produce in thoughtful dishes, and the space is warm and intimate.
Aloft Perth
A true home away from home experience, Aloft Perth is suited for a summertime staycay or a quick weekend getaway.
The space is both modern and funky, and on entry to your room, you’ll be greeted with a very retro-inspired mural covering the walkway wall. If you get the right room, you’ll get views out over the river and rolling hills. And it’s very easy to sink into the plush king after a day of activities.
Cocktails and smooth music can be found at the W XYZ Bar downstairs, while Springs Kitchen can service you all day with signature Australian dishes and a buffet breakfast bar. If pizza is more your flavour, Aloft is also home to one of Perth’s best pizza places, 450° Pizza.
It’s also near Optus Stadium and Crown, so entertainment won’t be too hard to source.
Tribe
Tribe is located near Kings Park, just a few steps from the riverfront and fitted with a hip and modern look.
The design is quite innovative and alternative, brought to life by leading designers with pops of colour throughout. The rooms are very simple, playing host to everything you need for a peaceful stay and nothing more.
When you get peckish, there’s a mix of casual dining spaces, boutique breakfast, long lounges, and a few of Perth’s best restaurants right on your doorstep.
Warders Hotel
Tucked away in the vibrant heart of the city, right at the doorstep of bustling markets, stands Warders Hotel — a charming boutique stay nestled within historic limestone cottages that once housed the guardians of Fremantle. Each room is a tapestry of history and elegance, where the original timbers and stonework are artfully blended with sophisticated, handcrafted finishes. Artwork by Tessa MacKay hangs in each room, bringing to life Fremantle’s past through vivid scenes and portraits. Everything from the furniture to the cushions and throws, inspires a calmness in a space designed for rest and rejuvenation.
Step beyond your room to be welcomed into quaint corner gin bar, Gimlet, and the vibrant atmosphere of Emily Taylor’s courtyard bar and restaurant — an invitation to indulge in one of the best Asian-fusion restaurants in all of WA.
Hougoumont Hotel
Nodding to Fremantle’s port history, the Hougoumont Hotel was built using old sea containers, making a stay here one that is guaranteed to be the starting point of stories for years to come. The rooms are beautifully decorated, with all the creature comforts needed for a relaxing stay. Neighbouring the hotel is Calamity’s Rod, the shipping container-brewery courtyard concept, where beers are brewed onsite and pizzas are slung on the regular. The best thing is that from the moment you step outside, you’ll be greeted with cafés, art galleries, restaurants, museums, record stores, and bookshops — what more could you want?
The Local Hotel
Bustling and laid back with locals catching up over a couple of cold ones and some top-notch pub grub, the large Victorian-era Local Hotel sits pretty on South Terrace — idyllically sandwiched between central Fremantle and South Fremantle. Make yourself at home in the beautifully curated rooms, fitted with original hardwood timber floors, floor-to-ceiling windows welcoming plenty of natural light, and luxe bohemian decor.
Tradewinds Hotel
Overlooking the picturesque Swan River and just a short distance from the eclectic streets of Fremantle, the Tradewinds Hotel is all things stylish and sophisticated. The 1909 establishment was recently refurbished and word on the street is that the river view suites are home to the comfiest of beds and elegant standalone bathtubs. If you’re peckish or keen for a tipple, simply head downstairs to the onsite restaurant and bar for everything from breakfast to dinner.
