If we are going to stay close to home you might as well enjoy the best with Ritz-Carlton Perth.

What happens when The Ritz-Carlton, Perth reaches out to see if you would be interested in an overnight staycation – you of course say yes, 1000x times yes.

When thinking family staycations you might automatically think down south or out to Burswood, but I am here to shift that thought to the city and more specifically the Ritz-Carlton.

Having admired The Ritz-Carlton, Perth from afar and only having been to the Songbird rooftop for a drink or two, I was keen to experience why the Ritz-Carlton hotels are considered among the best in the world.

Also we have a special announcement to share as well.

The first impression

Driving up into the Ritz-Carlton to drop the car off at the valet and the first impression once you walk through the sliding door to the foyer and reception is as impressive first impression as you can get.

But, as amazing as the first impression was, the real winner was the friendly staff and their interactions with our 3.5 year old.

On arrival, the staff member greeted our daughter and presented her with her Ritz Kids pack full of colouring books, pencils, stickers and of course a rubber duck that would later be a winner in the bath.

The room

Elizabeth Quay Suite – Lounge Room

When it comes to living the best life we were fortunate enough to experience the Elizabeth Quay Suite, which is 104sqm of luxury. If there was a kitchen in the suite you would never want to or have to leave.

On arrival, we were welcomed with a Ritz Kids package which is an optional extra and included a teepee, toys and slippers which was an instant hit.

With floor to ceiling windows, the views of Elizabeth Quay and King’s Park were made even more stunning – especially as the sun sets and the city lights switch on.

One thing you can say about The Ritz-Carlton, Perth is that everything seems grand and the bathroom is a testament to that. The free-standing bath is as big as a pool and the shower, well you definitely have enough room to run around in there.

Studio Park King Room

But, it’s not just the suites that have all the luxury trimmings. The ‘standard’ Studio rooms are just as impressive so you will be amazed by whichever experience you choose.

The pool

When you have a sweeping view of Elizabeth Quay of course you need to make sure the pool is heated so that it can be used during the cooler months.

While the pool might not be as big as other hotel pools, The Ritz-Carlton, Perth infinity pool boasts the best pool views, a pool that is deep enough to enjoy but allows you to still be able to walk throughout the pool – making it perfect for that relaxing dip or throwing the kids around.

Add in surrounding day beds and lounges and friendly bar staff – this is definitely a spot where you can relax while keeping an eye on the kids.

The lounge

With The Ritz-Carlton, Perth being located in Elizabeth Quay you are definitely spoiled for choice with a number of close options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

But to be honest you don’t have to venture very far with the Hearth Lounge the perfect place for a relaxed dinner which ticks all the boxes:

  • Kid-friendly menu
  • Delicious food for the adults – we had the grilled market fish and Pappardelle lamb ragout
  • Extensive beer, wine and cocktail list for the adults
  • Relaxed vibes with in-formal couches and seating

Ritz Kids activities

Mad Hatters High Tea at The Ritz-Carlton, Perth

During the school holidays The Ritz-Carlton, Perth often put on kid-friendly events which are fun for the whole family.

We were lucky enough to time our stay with the Mad Hatters High Tea event which featured a high tea selection for kids and of course an adult-friendly offering for the parents.

The savoury menu offered grass-fed beef cheeseburger, mac and cheese ball and a chicken and mayo finger sandwich. To be honest I wanted to order a second server of the kid’s menu for myself.

The sweet menu, which of course is the main event for all kids featured a raspberry choux trat, red velvet tea cake and a chocolate cookie sandwich.

It was safe to say that all of the above didn’t last long and I had to be quick to get a photo before it all disappeared.

Perth at your doorstep

While you might not want to ever leave your room or the hotel, the kids might get a little stir-crazy eventually.

When you partner world-class accommodation with Elizabeth Quay at the doorstep, the Ritz-Carlton provides families with almost endless options to get out and about in Perth.

Elizabeth Quay Carousel

Watch the kids go round and round on the Elizabeth Quay carousel, enjoy the playground right next to The Island or simply explore the city.

Make the most of being position right next to the Swan River and jump on the Little Ferry, experience Perth via a Gondola ride on the Swan or simply jump on a ferry to South Perth – which is what we chose to do in the morning to make the most of the sunshine and grab another morning coffee while Ayla burnt off some morning energy on the foreshore playground.

The ferry is also a great way to get to and from the Perth Zoo adding another family friendly option to your staycation.

The verdict

Having stay-cayed in the city, in other hotels around Perth and down south I can say without a doubt the Ritz-Carlton offers one of if not the best family holiday experience.

The rooms, the staff, the eats and drinks all partnered with an ideal location makes The Ritz-Carlton, Perth an ideal family staycation option.
