Boutique Hotel · Perth

The luxury case for QT Perth.

A design-led boutique hotel in Perth's CBD occupying a striking heritage-meets-contemporary building on Murray Street, with Santini Grill and Bar, a rooftop cocktail venue, and the signature QT approach to playful luxury.

The mood

Edgy, design-forward, and playfully luxurious

Ideal stay

1 to 3 nights

Why it earns the rate

QT Perth delivers a personality-rich city stay that makes most CBD hotels feel anonymous. The design, dining, and rooftop bar create a social hub rather than just a place to sleep.

Perth's CBD hotel scene tends toward the conservative, which is what makes QT Perth stand out. Occupying a striking building on Murray Street, the hotel applies the QT brand's signature formula: take a strong architectural shell, fill it with curated art and industrial-chic design, add food and drink venues with genuine personality, and create a social hub that attracts locals as much as travellers. The result is a hotel that feels more like a destination than a place to sleep, which is exactly the point.

The QT King sets the tone: a luxury king bed, rain shower (or freestanding bath in some configurations), sliding privacy screens between bed and bathroom that play with spatial intrigue, a Bose speaker, Nespresso machine, and Dyson hair dryer. Tom Dixon amenities and Chromecast round out the details. The QT Executive King steps up to 40 square metres with a double rain shower and dark marble bathroom, plus a working desk and the ability to accommodate a third guest. The QT Luxe King is the top category, where old-school glamour meets modern design: freestanding bath, walk-in rain shower, double vanities, and a marbled bathroom that feels genuinely opulent. Every room carries the same design DNA of edgy, considered luxury, just at different scales.

Santini Grill is the hotel's Italian-Mediterranean restaurant, serving breakfast daily and dinner Monday to Saturday in a warm, design-led dining room. The menu moves through seasonal Italian dishes with a Perth inflection, and the atmosphere is social rather than formal. Santini Bar, its sister venue, is a sultry cocktail hideaway with an Italian persuasion, open late and designed for lingering. But the headline venue is the Rooftop at QT, a glamorous open-air bar above the CBD with a retractable weatherproof awning that means it operates rain, hail, or shine. City skyline views, cocktails with imagination, and a smart-casual dress code after 5pm (when it goes strictly 18+) make it one of Perth's best elevated drinking spots. Room Service by QT handles the in-room side with the same kitchen quality, delivering wagyu burgers and cocktails to your duvet.

QT Perth is not trying to be everything to everyone. It knows its audience: design-conscious travellers, younger couples, solo visitors who want their hotel to be part of the city experience rather than a retreat from it. The Floor'd experience, where an entire hotel floor is dedicated to your group for a private cocktail evening and overnight stay, is the kind of programming that most hotels would never attempt. SpaQ provides treatments in the brand's design-forward style, and the gym handles the basics. But the real appeal is the combination of location (Murray Street Mall is literally outside the door), personality (the art, the design, the energy), and food and drink venues that locals actually choose to visit. If you want your Perth hotel to have a pulse, this is the one.

What to Know

Before you book

Is QT Perth a good choice for a first Perth visit?

If you want a design-led city hotel with personality and nightlife, absolutely. For a quieter heritage luxury experience, consider COMO The Treasury.

Is it suitable for families?

It works for older teens who will appreciate the design and rooftop bar, but younger families may prefer a property with dedicated kids facilities.

What makes it different from other Perth CBD hotels?

The design commitment. From the curated art to the industrial-chic rooms to the rooftop bar, QT Perth has a strong visual and social identity that most city hotels lack.

Is the rooftop bar worth visiting even as a non-guest?

Yes. It is one of Perth's best rooftop venues, with a weatherproof retractable awning, city views, and a social energy that draws locals and visitors alike.
