Established as a British penal colony in 1829, Perth today couldn’t have travelled further: it’s a diverse, vibrant city forever bathed in sunshine, steeped in history and culture while blessed with picturesque wineries and over 20 beaches, most within a short distance of the town. Kings Park, overlooking the CBD and Swan River, is natural bushland ideal for picnics and walks. Like its hidden bars, al fresco cafes, and quaint pubs, the best hotels with balconies in the city will help you soak up the fresh air and relaxed lifestyle. Check out the best Perth hotels with balconies here – all bookable on Culture Trip.

Most bedrooms have balconies – ask for one when you book – and all have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the leafy surroundings. There’s an inviting lounge and rooftop terrace boasting some of the best views in the city, where you can relax and socialise; or check out the Shadow Wine Bar and dining room. Borrow a bike to discover more – here, you’re just metres away from the best museums, galleries, theatres, shopping, wining and dining in the city.

West Perth occupies the space between sporty Subiaco, trendy Leederville and stylish Northbridge at the business end of the CBD. When you’re not enjoying the resort-style facilities on site, relax on the private balcony of your apartment – sit back and take in the beauty of the city fringe and the tranquillity of Kings Park – or step out nearby Subi Farmers Market for local produce, home-baked goodies and freshly brewed coffee. There’s also a spectrum of local restaurants, cafes and bars close to the hotel.

3. Quay Perth, for sweeping views

This is surely the ultimate and most enviable Perth location, overlooking Langley Park, and gazing at the massive green space hugging the Swan River is balm to the weariest soul. The full-width balconies in the guest rooms and suite soak up the expansive views as far as Kings Park. It’s difficult not to get lost in those views even while doing laps in the infinity pool, exercising in the gym or dining on pizza, steak or fish and chips in the Gusti Restaurant. To wash away the excesses of the day good and proper, treat yourself to a luxurious king spa suite.
