Perth?s reinvention continues

Australia?s city of Perth has seen unprecedented growth in the last few years, a trend which is set to continue with more 2,000 hotel rooms to be added by 2020.

In 2016 there will be three new hotels opening and the launch of Elizabeth Quay ? a new waterfront development transforming the centre of Perth with a 2.7 hectare inlet surrounded by a split level promenade, public art, cafes, restaurants and hotels.

In February the space will get its first major event, hosting 25 nights of live music as part of the Perth International Arts festival.

Crown Towers, a six-star hotel overlooking the Swan River, will add 500 luxury rooms to The Crown Perth Complex, and is expected to be completed in December.

Next to the Elizabeth Quay development, the new Doubletree by Hilton will have 241 rooms, a restaurant, pool and bar, and is anticipated to open in mid-2016.

Seashells Fremantle will also open early this year and offers 24 apartments with a rooftop cocktail bar and tapas restaurant.
