Facing the Swan River from its position on The Esplanade, the building that houses Quay Perth presents a facade of faceted bay windows wrapped in dark anodised aluminium — a rhythm of angular glass bays stepping across the mid-rise tower that gives each room an oblique relationship with the water below. The geometry is sharp and deliberate, the black steel framing lending the exterior a weight that distinguishes it from the glass-curtain-wall commercial towers pressing in on either side. A rooftop terrace runs the full width of the upper level, visible from street level through continuous glazing. Inside, the property splits its register across two distinct moods. Guest rooms carry a Scandinavian-adjacent restraint — pale timber slat headboards, strip lighting recessed behind upholstered bedheads, grey carpet, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the city or river depending on orientation. Accent cushions in dusty blue and blush soften what might otherwise feel strictly minimal. The all-day dining space works in warm-toned oak, vertical timber batten screens punctuated by a capsule-shaped aperture that frames the open kitchen beyond — a device that creates depth without enclosure. The hotel's bar and restaurant takes a harder industrial turn: reclaimed timber wall cladding, exposed brick columns, chain-hung pendant lights and buttoned banquette seating in charcoal wool, the atmosphere closer to a converted warehouse than a hotel dining room. The tonal gap between those two spaces is wide, but each is well-resolved on its own terms.
