The place
At 1 Barrack Square on the Swan River waterfront, extending out over the water immediately next to Elizabeth Quay in the Perth CBD.
The concept
DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Waterfront opened on 15 December 2020 as an 18-storey, 229-room purpose-built tower on Barrack Square, physically extending out over the Swan River: a first for a hotel on this stretch of waterfront. The exterior is wrapped in "Aqua Lux", a site-specific artwork by Perth artist Tom Muller spanning the building's entire perimeter and designed to echo the changing light and moods of the river.
The opening gave Hilton's DoubleTree brand its first Western Australian property and added a large-scale waterfront address to the Elizabeth Quay precinct just over a year after the Ritz-Carlton's debut nearby. Owned by SKS Group and managed by Hilton, it positions itself as an upscale, amenity-led alternative to the precinct's luxury flagship rather than a direct rival to it.
