The Property — Aloft Perth
Aloft Perth is a slick, budget-conscious hotel in the city's business district, a block from the Swan River. The lobby buzzes with a polished industrial vibe: concrete floors, bold art, and a well-stocked bar. It suits travellers who want reliable comfort, fast WiFi, and a pool for a quick dip, without fuss or frills.
Chronicles of Perth
Perth was founded in 1829 as the Swan River Colony, the last Australian mainland capital established by British settlers. It grew slowly until the 1890s gold rushes swelled its population and bankrolled grand Victorian and Federation buildings. The 20th century brought Art Deco landmarks and a post-war suburban sprawl, while the 21st-century mining booms fuelled sleek towers. Today, it's a sun-drenched, multicultural hub with a laid-back confidence, far more in tune with Asia than the eastern states.
Best Time to Visit
Full Perth guide →Best months
March and April offer warm days and cooler nights with low rainfall, plus lighter crowds before winter events. October is also excellent: spring blooms, sunny days, and fewer tourists than the summer peak.
Peak / festival surge
December to February is the peak summer season, coinciding with school holidays and major events like the Hopman Cup and Australia Day celebrations. Hotel prices can spike 30–50% above shoulder-season rates. The Fringe World Festival in January also drives demand.
Budget shoulder season
May and September are ideal shoulder months: mild weather, quieter attractions, and hotel rates often 20–30% lower than peak. The weather is pleasant for outdoor exploring without the summer heat.
Weather & packing
July is mid-winter in Perth, with average highs around 18°C and frequent rain. Pack a waterproof jacket, layers, and an umbrella; you'll get four distinct seasons in one day.

- Perth's new METRONET rail line to the eastern suburbs is partly open; check Transperth for planned closures along the Midland and Armadale lines during your stay.
- The Eddie Bar & Bistro in Northbridge closed in early 2025; try Vin Populi bar for natural wine and small plates instead.
- Winter whale-watching season is in full swing; the 'Sea the Giant' tours run from Fremantle through to November.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Aloft Perth, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 to 6 facing the courtyard (away from Rowe Avenue). These upper levels reduce street noise and the courtyard side is quieter at night.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 to 3 facing Rowe Avenue, especially those near the lift lobby — early morning traffic and lift noise are noticeable. Also skip rooms directly above the bar/restaurant on ground level.
Best views
Rooms on the courtyard side offer a green outlook (trees, a small outdoor area). Upper floors facing Rowe Avenue give a city-skyline glimpse but with traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 are quietest, set back from the street and away from the ground-floor communal areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Rowe Avenue is a busy collector road connecting to Great Eastern Highway — expect moderate traffic from 7am to 7pm. The hotel's ground-floor bar can generate low hum until 11pm. No lift noise above floor 3 if you're away from the shaft.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, the hotel has limited parking — book a spot in advance via reception or use the nearby Wilson Parking on Rowe Avenue (pre-book online). 2. Request a courtyard-facing room when booking (specify 'high floor, courtyard view') — these are quieter and cooler in summer.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
