Best Hotels in Perth

Perth is Australia's sunniest capital city, a sprawling metropolis on the Swan River with more blue-sky days than any other Australian city. Kings Park — one of the world's largest inner-city parks — offers sweeping views of the skyline, river and Darling Range.

The CBD has been transformed with Elizabeth Quay, a waterfront precinct of restaurants and public art. A short ferry ride takes you to South Perth for foreshore walks, while Fremantle — just 30 minutes south — delivers heritage architecture, craft breweries and the famous Fremantle Markets.

Perth is the jumping-off point for Rottnest Island (home of the quokka selfie), the Swan Valley wine region, and the stunning beaches of the western suburbs — Cottesloe, Trigg and Scarborough.
