Perth, australia

An inner-city sojourn where Western Australia’s ancient land is present at every turn

Even for seasoned travellers,Western Australia feels like a discovery; one that begins at The Ritz-Carlton, Perth. Situated between the bustling CBD and the Swan River on Elizabeth Quay, the hotel’s pink-hued glass tower evokes Kimberley’s rare Argyle diamonds and Western Australian sunsets. Inside, hand-laid sandstone lines a 13-metre-tall lobby with a concierge desk carved from century-old jarrah wood, and original works by regional artists fill the hotel. The 205 calm, elegantly appointed rooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows framing the river, parklands or skyline. For enhanced privacy, The Ritz-Carlton Club functions separately with its own dedicated team. The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Perth offers nature-inspired treatments, vitality pools, a heated infinity pool and more. At Hearth restaurant, seasonal local produce and native ingredients are cooked over open flames and paired with an award-winning wine list, and the day closes with sundowners inspired by Australian birdlife at Songbird Bar & Lounge rooftop.

Stand-out Experience:

A Seat at the Hearth Chef’s Counter

At the heart of Hearth, the signature restaurant of The Ritz-Carlton, Perth, sits an open fire with just six seats in front of it. Each evening at the Chef’s Counter, a small group of guests watches the chefs cook a five-course menu over flame and glowing embers, with every dish explained as it comes together. The menu follows the seasons and the length of Western Australia, drawing on farmers, fishers and producers from the Kimberley to the Great Southern, with pairings from Hearth’s prize-winning wine list. It is relaxed and personal, a chance to talk with the chefs, ask questions and taste the state one course at a time, with the Swan River just beyond the windows. A one-of-a-kind experience to sit at Perth’s most intimate and immersive dining table.
