QT Perth
Perth, Australia
Vibe
Towering cacti, red jarrah floorboards, and kaleidoscopic rugs set an eccentric, high-energy tone from the moment you step inside.
“Maximalist rooftop eyrie”
Maximalist interiors feature local red jarrah timber, Patsy Payne steel sculptures, and jewel-toned velvet furnishings.
Locals and guests gather for sunset spritzes at the eighteenth-floor rooftop bar and bustling ground-floor cafe.
Rooms offer Dyson hairdryers, Kevin Murphy bath amenities, DeLonghi espresso machines, and black marble bathrooms.
On Murray Street in the central business district, steps from retail malls and Perth Station.
“True to the QT brand of whimsical glamour, it’s big on detail, pattern-play and a sense of place.”
Rooms
Cockatoo wall coverings and rich velvets frame sweeping city views, paired with dark timber floors and freestanding soaking tubs.
Backstory
Rising on the site of the former CineCentre, the tower draws its aesthetic cues from Western Australia's opulent mining boom.
Eat & drink
Santini serves wood-fired Mediterranean plates beneath terracotta ceilings, while Rooftop at QT pours cocktails above panoramic skyline and river views.
The neighborhood
Murray Street Mall sits directly outside the lobby doors, with Elizabeth Quay and the Swan River just a short walk south.

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.
