There are few hotels that immediately conjure up the feeling of pure luxury for travellers far and wide. But there’s one that can with the simple mention of its name – iconic luxury hotel chain, The Ritz-Carlton.
The Ritz-Carlton has made its long-awaited Australia return with a new 5-star hotel in Perth’s centre. Featuring incredible sweeping views of the Swan River and Perth city skyline, the 5-star hotel embodies a simple yet luxuriously appointed design that’s sure to see you wanting to linger longer.
We’ve had a very special preview of The Ritz-Carlton, Perth before it’s official opening on 15 November 2019. Read on to discover why we can’t wait to check-in again.
The Rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows boast unbeatable views that can be enjoyed by adjacent seating areas in all 205 luxury guest rooms and suites. Even the entry level guest rooms emit an elegant and spacious style. Every bathroom features a glorious, free-standing, oversized bathtub that you’ll be immediately drawn into. And once you’ve dried off, there’s no better place to relax than in your huge king size bed, featuring Frette linen and goose-down pillows and duvet, accurately labelled a “luxury sleep experience”.
