Perth – Hotels & Accommodation

BY CK Lam

My six-day five-night Perth trip in September 2015 sponsored by Tourism Western Australia and organized by Foodsion 食尚 truly allows me to discover more of the city. My series about Perth will be published on a weekly basis, focusing mainly on the plethora of culinary offerings in Perth’s food spots while also touching on the travel attractions and accommodation.

During my visit to Perth, Tourism Western Australia was very accommodating and arranged for our group to stay in several hotels and apartment across Perth. We were guided through the Rendezvous Grand Hotel Perth Scarborough, Alex Hotel, Mantra On Hay (Perth CBD), Hotel Rottnest, Crown Perth, Be. Fremantle Serviced Apartment and Novotel Vines Resort & Country Club.

To start off, it is worth checking out Alex Hotel, a 74-room boutique hotel in Northbridge. Opened a few months ago, the hotel’s convenient location at the heart of the central business district offers easy access to shopping  and tourist attractions. Its rooftop terrace garden offers great views of the city. One can find relaxing designed areas and places to relax after a day out.
