The development of the Perth CBD has historically grown to the east and the west. Elizabeth Quay returns the city’s focus southerly to the river. Joshua Prince-Ramus from New York-based architectural firm Rex who was instrumental in the Elizabeth Quay precinct, stated, “We’re seeing this really all over the world — a reclamation of the waterfront — for obvious reasons, so it’s exciting to be a part of that.”
The hotel consists of accommodation, riverfront pedestrian access, a rooftop terrace and restaurants that aim to provide interaction with the surrounding Swan River. The 4.5-star, 229-room DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Waterfront on Riverside Drive is the eastern gateway to Elizabeth Quay. The five-storey base, coupled with an 18-storey tower, faces west, with each room having either a city or river view.
