Where to Stay in Perth: Accommodation Guide for Visitors

Perth has a comprehensive accommodation range centred on the CBD, the Northbridge arts precinct and the western coastal strip. The Crown Towers Perth and COMO The Treasury on St George's Terrace are the city's flagship luxury hotels. The CBD has a strong concentration of international chain hotels along St George's Terrace, Murray Street and the Esplanade foreshore. Northbridge has mid-range hotels and backpacker accommodation close to the arts and entertainment precinct. Fremantle, 30 minutes from the CBD by train, has boutique accommodation options in a heritage port setting popular with those who prefer a character alternative to the CBD. Cottesloe and the western beach suburbs have vacation rental apartments popular with beach-focused visitors. The Margaret River region, 3-4 hours south, has outstanding winery accommodation for those visiting that region from a Perth base. The FIFO mining schedule creates corporate demand that can cause hotel shortages during work rotations; booking ahead for conferences or major events periods is important.
