Frommer's Review

It's the setting that first grabs your attention, the distinctively tiered building set within parkland right next to the Swan River, overlooking the city. Then you walk into the full-height, glass-ceilinged atrium, all set about with high-flying triangular sails. Glass-sided elevators ascend one wall. The foyer and public facilities have all been upgraded since 2003, and the suites will follow in 2008. The hotel is part of an entertainment complex that includes Perth's only casino, a large theater, another hotel (Holiday Inn), and a public 18-hole golf course. The surrounding parks and gardens include lakes and fountains, free barbecue facilities, a heritage walk, an outdoor summer cinema, a tourist helipad, and children's playground. Being outside the city center, the main focus is on tourists not corporate travelers. The real stars are the spacious suites with large balconies, facing straight downriver; otherwise ask for river-view rooms. The fitness center is staffed 6am to 9pm.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; 2 bars (more in casino); enormous free-form pool; heated indoor pool; tennis courts; well-equipped fitness center and sauna (available 24 hr.); yoga/Pilates classes; day/beauty spa with 13 treatment rooms; bikes for hire; concierge; airline/car rental/tour desk; business center 8:30am-5pm Mon-Fri; secretarial services; hairdresser; 24-hr. room service; dry cleaning/laundry service; lobby shop; florist
