Palace Hotel ReviewThe "Grand Old Lady of Kalgoorlie" was built at the height of the gold rush, on the town's principal intersection. It was the most luxurious hotel outside Perth and has been restored to its original grandeur, and maintains a more genteel atmosphere than most of the other, rowdier pubs. An elegant two-story building, it's graced with a splendid balcony, part of which is now the Balcony Restaurant. The hotel has a magnificent carved mirror donated by mining engineer (and later U.S. president) Herbert Hoover, who apparently fell in love with a Palace barmaid while working on the Goldfields. All rooms reflect their era and most are somewhat cramped, but there are spacious suites in the next-door building.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
