Quest Mounts Bay Road
Quest Mounts Bay Road is one of Perth’s best hotel secrets, and we’re about to blab. Each of its apartments – even the studios – has a full kitchen and bathroom, making them perfect for families and longer stays. Just two minutes from Kings Park and with rooms for less than $200 per night, you can’t go wrong.
Mantra on Hay
If you’re unlucky enough to get bad weather during your trip (and you’d have to be pretty unlucky – Perth is the world’s sunniest capital), Mantra on Hay has got you covered, with an awesome indoor pool and gym area. Its comfy hotel rooms and spacious modern apartments (with full kitchens), all in the heart of East Perth, aren’t too bad either 😉
Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough
Want to make the most of that glorious Perth sunshine? Ditch the CBD and head to Rendezvous for a stay at Perth’s iconic Scarborough Beach. Book an Ocean View room for epic sunset views, and make sure you take a dip in the tempting lagoon-style pool. If you can drag yourself away from the beach, that is.
