16 Perth CBD Hotels Perfect for a City Break
Set in a curve of the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan), Perth (Boorloo) CBD is certainly picturesque but water views aren't the only thing worth admiring in this west coast city. From avant-garde museums to bolt-hole wine bars and delicious fine-diners, Perth's cultural scene is as bright as the perpetually sunny days it famously enjoys. Our advice? Stay in the city and have it all within walking distance. Here are 16 of the best hotels in Perth's CBD.

Crown Metropol
1/17If luxury is what you desire, then Crown Metropol Perth is for you. Rooms are sleek and elegant thanks to a palette of pale grey, crisp white and moody charcoal. Facilities include the chic resort pool, where you can hire a private cabana in The Pavilion, or indulge at Crown Spa Perth, with its extensive treatment menu, and the Aqua Retreat (steam room, rain shower and vitality pool). Crown Metropol also boasts a Luxe King Spa room (with a king size bed and oversized spa bath) and on-site cosmetic treatment physician.

The Ritz-Carlton, Perth
2/17This 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.

COMO The Treasury
3/17Few 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 Westin Perth
4/17Who could resist sinking into the so-named Westin Heavenly Bed? That’s the divine prospect that greets guests at The Westin Perth, a five-star stay in the city with all the trimmings. There’s a heated infinity pool, 24-hour fitness studio, on-site spa and a delicious Italian diner in Garum by Guy Grossi. It's a residence fit for royalty.

QT Perth
5/17The 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.

Alex Hotel
6/17Cool kids stay at Alex Hotel, a boutique-feel stay decked out in designer wares just north of the CBD. Don’t retreat to your room; the communal spaces are where all the fun is. The on-site Shadow Wine Bar is just as trendy as any of the city’s avant-garde wine bars with a hearty snack menu that pairs perfectly with the carefully-considered plonk list.

Parmelia Hilton
7/17The 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.

Crown Towers
8/17The 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.

Mercure Perth
9/17An 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.

Crown Promenade
10/17Dressed 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.

InterContinental Perth City Centre
11/17There are hundreds of artworks adorning the grand InterContinental Perth City Centre, a do-over of the former Rydges. 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.

DoubleTree Hilton Perth
12/17From the top floors of DoubleTree Hilton Perth, 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.

Duxton Hotel Perth
13/17Don’t let the “steakhouse” label fool you. Firewater Grille, at Duxton Hotel Perth in the middle of the city, is more experimental eatery than hotel restaurant (and it has the ambitious menu to prove it). Local produce, from Shark Bay scallops to jumbo prawns, are given modern flavours with pairings such as lemon and garlic butter and charred lime. After the main course, it's time to indulge your sweet tooth with a rich dessert such as Maple and Brioche Bavarian Verrine or the Roasted Peach Gateau served with lime-coconut cream.

Crowne Plaza Perth
14/17Views 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.

Rendezvous Hotel Perth Central
15/17A small, homey stay towards the western end of the CBD, Rendezvous Hotel Perth Central places Perth’s best sights, such as the Museum of Perth, Elizabeth Quay and WA Museum Boola Bardip, within walking distance. Staying close to home isn’t a bad choice, either – especially as there’s a Finnish-style sauna on-site for sweating out those toxins.
