POOL & FITNESS AREA
Infinity Pool, day beds, cocktails and your daily summer tunes playing on the speaker. This is the life, you’ve been waiting for! The outdoor pool area is absolutely beautiful, an infinity pool looking over the majestic swan river is just Instagram worthy. I could spend the night up here, unfortunately, due to pool safety and restrictions, my dreams are crushed!
18 KNOTS ROOFTOP BAR
We saved the best for last. Welcome to 18 knots, the only rooftop bar in Perth that have a completely 360 unobstructed view of the swan river, Elizabeth quay and Perth city. It is break taking up here. The bar serves delicious cocktails that pair well with the seafood tapas meals up here. Prepare to be blown away up here, literally… You have to see it for yourself.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The staffs throughout the hotel are fantastic, from the reception, restaurant and bar staffs. They are splendid and have been lovely.

The King Deluxe Room views are the highlight! However, the bathroom can be quite small. There are other rooms with a bathtub and en suite which I can’t wait to check out on my next trip.

HUSH HUSH SECRET TIPS:
DoubleTree Cookies - You should receive a complimentary cookie from reception upon check-in. However, did you know, you can ask for more - COMPLETELY FREE!
Don’t Drive - There is no valet parking around the venue, therefore the closest parking options are in Langley park, and it can be quite pricey. Public transport is FREE within the city zones, so save the drive and start using the complimentary public transport system.
