DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Northbridge – Hotel Review

Opened in 2018, it’s a relative newcomer to the scene and those who choose this four-star property near the CBD will be charmed by its fresh-feel rooms, dazzling city views and rooftop pool. Read on for the full review.

All 206 rooms and suites at this hotel are polished and well-appointed, styled in warm, muted tones with quality furniture, large televisions, high thread-count sheets and sleek bathrooms. That celebrated high-standard Hilton service is here, too — concierge and room service is available 24/7 and the DoubleTree tradition of a warm chocolate-chip cookie at check-in never gets old.

Room types

The next question is: to splurge or not to splurge? For the most spectacular views over Perth’s glittering downtown, the Panoramic rooms are the ticket. Only a few years old, it shows; the brand new-feeling rooms feature stylish furniture in muted tones, with sleek bathrooms of taupe marble. All rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, rain showers, TVs and workspaces, and span at least 30 square metres.

Restaurants and bars

On-site restaurant James Street Bar & Kitchen, located on the ground floor, prides itself on showcasing the freshest local produce. There’s crispy squid with chipotle mayo, a chicken and pumpkin salad, or a smoked pulled beef sandwich. An extensive drinks list includes classic and craft cocktails, and plenty of local beer and wine including drops from the nearby Margaret River wine region. Mid-century modern chairs, plants, timber details and the colourfully tiled floor make the dining room a stylish-yet-casual place to hang out.
