COMO The Treasury
Perth, Australia
Cathedral Square
Vibe
Soaring Victorian arches and original jarrah floors frame an understated retreat, where check-in happens over welcome drinks in the fireplace lounge.
“Restored civic cloister”
Kerry Hill interiors pair pale timber joinery with custom travertine stone details and bronze accents under soaring ceilings.
Personalized arrival lounge check-in, evening turndown with handmade local truffles, and expansive travertine bathrooms with deep soaking tubs.
Restored nineteenth-century state buildings retain original jarrah timber floors, Victorian dormer windows, and historic basement vault doors.
In Cathedral Square at St Georges Terrace, steps from Perth Town Hall and the Swan River.
“Upon entry, you won’t find a traditional reception desk. Rather, you’ll notice an elegant Arrival Lounge inviting you to collect your thoughts and relax…”
Rooms
Unique layouts shape each room, featuring motorized blackout blinds and palatial travertine bathrooms with heated floors and deep freestanding soaking tubs.
“The building's 19th-century exterior is a textbook example of French Second Empire style, but the interiors are marked with COMO's signature minimalism—spartan without feeling spare.”
Wellness
Set against historic vault doors, the subterranean spa offers holistic bodywork beneath a sunlit twenty-metre indoor lap pool in a rooftop conservatory.
“Fronted by an elegant line of Corinthian columns and deeply inset loggias, the 48-room property is part of a cluster of heritage buildings”
Backstory
Left vacant for two decades, this nineteenth-century civic complex once housed the city's treasury, land titles office, and General Post Office.
Eat & drink
Rooftop glass box Wildflower crafts degustations around the six indigenous seasons, while Post serves Italian classics in the former franking room.
The neighborhood
Anchored at Western Australia's Point Zero in Cathedral Square, the property sits steps from St George's Cathedral and the Swan River.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
