A day spent looking at Perth hotels last year convinced us of one thing: there was a dearth in Perth of places that were either affordable or ones we wanted to stay in. But the second point, at least, is set to change now, with Como opening a Perth branch in September.
Como The Treasury will be part of a A$580m redevelopment of the 19th-century Treasury buildings, a heritage-listed precinct of the city (the cathedral is also there) which is having a 33-story mixed use tower built amid the historical buildings.
This is, in a way, a downgrade for Perth – the brand originally scheduled to move into the project was Aman, which planned a 46-room hotel before pulling out. Como will have 48 rooms.
There’s no mention of the project on the Como website yet, and no renderings we can find – in fact the only details we know is that it’ll be designed by Australian Kerry Hill, and Como is promising their normal "wellness, service and cuisine” for the hotel. Oh, and it’ll be six stars. Scratch that “affordable” hope from your mind right now.
With so few details we’re assuming a September opening isn’t really on the cards – let’s hope that by the end of the year we should have more details, though.
