A New InterContinental Opens in Perth

The InterContinental brand’s sixth Australian property, the InterContinental Perth City Centre, has just been unveiled. Set on Hay Street within the King Street Precinct, the hotel is walking distance from His Majesty’s Theatre, designer retailers, cafes, city parks and the Swan River ferry options at Elizabeth Quay.

Guests have the option to stay in classic rooms, studios, or a penthouse suite which feature taupe, olive and bronze hues alongside city views. The hotel interiors have been outfitted with over 300 specially commissioned sculptures, paintings, ceramics and glass works by thirteen Western Australian artists.

Club InterContinental guests can benefit from the Club InterContinental facilities on the top floor, which include a la carte breakfast, all day refreshments, a high tea service in the afternoon and canapés and drinks from sunset.

Other on-site dining offerings include Graffiti, a food-truck concept eatery that serves up coffee, Portuguese custard tarts and other gourmet food-to-go from behind a graffiti covered roller door designed by a local artist; outdoor tapas bar Heno & Rey; and Ascua (Spanish for ember), a ground floor restaurant that will uniquely showcase the preparation of aged beef and other meats when it opens on 1 November. On the first floor, The Loft Lounge offers guests fresh breakfast pastries as well as serviced high tea in the afternoons, and a menu featuring InterContinental Worldly Classic cocktails throughout the day and into the night.

The hotel’s concierge team specialises in giving guests an insider’s guide to the city, offering personal recommendations and securing hard-to-get tickets to exclusive events.

Rates start from A$343 for a Classic King room.
