The Property — DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Northbridge
Standing in the lobby of the DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Northbridge, you get polished functionality with a warm, modern feel. The hotel is a solid, no-nonsense base for exploring the city's vibrant cultural quarter, offering the reliable service you'd expect from a Hilton, with a welcome cookie to sweeten the deal.

Chronicles of Perth
Perth was founded in 1829 as the Swan River Colony, a remote outpost of the British Empire. The city's architectural evolution is stark: colonial stone buildings gave way to the gold-rush boom, then modern towers rose after the 1960s mining and oil booms. Today, Perth has a confident, sun-soaked identity as a gateway to the state's natural wonders, balancing a relaxed outdoor lifestyle with a growing arts and food scene. Its isolation—the most remote capital city on Earth—shapes a self-contained, proudly independent culture.
Best Time to Visit
Full Perth guide →Best months
March, April and October offer warm, sunny days with fewer crowds than summer, and comfortable temperatures for exploring the city and nearby beaches.
Peak / festival surge
December and January are peak tourist months, driven by school holidays and the festive season. Hotel prices climb steeply, and the city is busy with outdoor events and beachgoers. Wait Awhile Festival (January) and the Perth Festival (February) also contribute to higher demand.
Budget shoulder season
May and September are excellent shoulder months: lighter crowds, well-reviewed hotel bargains, and mild weather for walks around Kings Park and the Swan River.
Weather & packing
Perth has a Mediterranean climate – cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers. For a July visit, pack a waterproof jacket and layers, as winter brings chilly evenings (7–18°C) and occasional rain.
Live City Briefing — Perth
- The new Perth Stadium (Optus Stadium) continues to drive event programming; check if there's an AFL match or concert during your stay, which can affect transport and hotel availability.
- Northbridge's cultural precinct is seeing ongoing development: the WA Museum Boola Bardip (opened 2020) remains a major draw, but check for temporary exhibitions or closures.
- Perth's free CAT bus network (Yellow, Red, Blue, Green, and Purple lines) is a reliable way to get around the city and Northbridge, with routes covering most key attractions. Timetables may have seasonal adjustments.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Northbridge, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room with a north-facing aspect on floors 6 to 10. The higher you go, the better chance you have of blocking James Street traffic hum, and those floors offer a quieter outlook over the city skyline. Corner rooms on the northern side reduce corridor echo.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing south-west, especially those numbered 01–05 near the lift core on lower floors: the service entrance and the street-level bar on James Street generate noise from Thursday to Saturday nights. Rooms on floors 2–4 with east-facing windows are directly over the driveway and hear early morning deliveries.
Best views
North-facing rooms offer a broad view over Northbridge’s low-rise rooftops towards the city skyline. East-facing rooms see the Perth Hills in the distance on a clear day, but south-facing ones look directly at the back of the hotel and car park.
Quietest floors
Floors 6 through 10. These are above the street-level bar and away from the rear service area, and the lift doors close more gently at these levels.
🔊 Noise notes
James Street carries bus and pedestrian traffic through Northbridge’s entertainment district. The ground-floor bar on James Street has live music or loud groups on Friday and Saturday evenings until 11pm. The rear service entrance gets bin collection around 6am on weekdays.
Insider tips
1. There is no dedicated hotel parking; use the Wilson Parking garage at 123 James Street (entrance off Charles Street) for a pre-booked discount. 2. Ask at check-in if a room on the north side of floor 8 is available—it’s often the quietest and staff can assign it if it hasn’t been booked.
- 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
