Location and getting around
The hotel's biggest advantage is how many places you can reach on foot. Yagan Square and the Western Australian Museum are each about four minutes away, Perth Underground Station is around six minutes, Murray Street Mall is about seven, RAC Arena is roughly ten and Elizabeth Quay is about thirteen minutes on foot.
From the station you can ride the train to Fremantle, and the free city transit zone covers much of the centre. Perth Airport is about a 23-minute drive. There is no parking on site, which suits travellers using public transport, but anyone arriving by car should look into nearby car parks before they book.
The rooms and the feel
There are nine room types, ranging from a standard room with one king bed or two twin beds, at about 280 square feet or 26 square metres, to panoramic rooms, deluxe rooms with panoramic views, a corner room, an accessible room and a junior suite of about 484 square feet, or 45 square metres, with its own bedroom. Rooms have air conditioning, a large flat screen television, a safe, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and designer toiletries, and 24-hour room service is available. The upper floors have the best views across the city, so ask for a high floor when you book.
