QT Hotel Perth

The QT hotel is one of the latest hotel openings in Perth. Situated on the corner of Barrack and Murray Streets, it is an ideal location for visitors or for locals, like us, enjoying what has come to be known as a staycation.

Billing itself as a boutique hotel with designer rooms, the QT offers free wi-fi, complementary in-room movies and a 24-hour gym. The foyer is large with very contemporary retro furniture and bold colours. There is also a lobby café.

Our room was larger than I thought it would be as I had snaffled a good price – $151 for a Saturday night and I was expecting a large broom cupboard however it was a good size with a very comfortable bed, an easy chair and a small sofa.

The hotel provides a fair few items for guests to buy from the minibar but we couldn’t find any prices. The dark stone bathroom is large with two sinks, a deep bath and a shower. The shower is on a wet floor area so easy to use for older people.

Our only problem was with the abysmal lighting – especially in the bathroom. It was very difficult to put make-on when the lighting was so low and having to stretch over the sinks to see in the mirror.

This mood lighting continued into the corridors and while it looks good it is perhaps not the best for seniors.

After unpacking we migrated to Perth’s highest rooftop bar – just 10 floors above us. We were greeted by no fewer than five staff members as we made our way through the huge seating area to the outside rooftop.

It was a very hot afternoon and we were glad to find a table with a little shade. There is a good view over the CBD to Elizabeth Quay and the Swan River. Excellent and friendly service.

We went elsewhere for lunch and dinner but decided to have breakfast in QT’s Santini Grill. Service was impeccable and the food was good but expensive – two breakfasts came to $64.50. Perhaps we should not have chosen the side of bacon from a Berkshire pig which tasted divine but maybe not worth the $6 price tag for one slice!

Check-out was a breeze and our car was brought to the front of the hotel very quickly. Valet parking is $40 per night.

Definitely a good bet for a weekend in the city but do join the Priority Club before booking for a 10% discount or use your Entertainment Card.
