Aloft is a great address for weary travellers and busy corporate types in Perth. Aimed at tech-savvy travellers who like a top-notch breakfast buffet, this is a comfortable and affordable place to lay your head.
The hotel offers 224 clean-cut rooms with all the right amenities (blackout curtains – yes please), and all the rooms are decorated with bright, beautiful artworks by local artists. Communal spaces like the XYZ Bar are great for that late-night tipple, but there’s also a gym and an outdoor swimming pool with a blue mural by Melbourne-based artist Stephen Baker if you’re feeling more active.
Located in the gentrified Rivervale area, the hotel is only a ten-minute drive to the city and 15 minutes from the airport. It’s a great option for those after an affordable yet sophisticated stay in Perth.
Time Out tip: As Aloft Hotels falls under the umbrella of Marriott Hotels, you can join Marriott's travel program, Marriott Bonvoy. It works much like a usual loyalty program with discounts on stays, but there's also a collaboration with Universal Music Group and a series called Live at Aloft Hotels, which means you can score free entry into exclusive music events around the world.
