Our Verdict

The Ritz-Carlton Perth combines CBD convenience with waterfront views, the best of both worlds that neither COMO nor Crown quite achieve. The rooftop bar has Perth's best sunset views, rooms are well-appointed, and the Elizabeth Quay location is excellent. It's the most balanced luxury option in Perth.

Best For

  • Waterfront with CBD access
  • Rooftop bar seekers
  • Business travelers
  • Couples
  • Those wanting balance of location and views

Skip If

  • Seeking heritage character
  • Want resort-style facilities
  • Prefer casino entertainment
  • Budget-conscious

What We Love

  • Prime Elizabeth Quay location, waterfront and CBD combined
  • Songbird rooftop bar has Perth's best sunset views
  • Ritz-Carlton service standards are consistently excellent
  • Well-designed rooms with quality finishes
  • Walking distance to CBD and waterfront dining
  • Outdoor pool with river glimpses

Consider

  • Premium pricing similar to COMO
  • Pool is adequate but not spectacular
  • Design is polished but not distinctive
  • Some rooms have limited water views
  • Restaurant is solid but not destination-level

The Rooms

Rooms start at 42sqm with city, park, or water views, water view rooms command premiums but deliver on the promise. Ritz-Carlton's signature beds and marble bathrooms are standard. Club Level rooms include lounge access with breakfast and evening drinks. The design is contemporary luxury without strong character.

Dining

Hearth restaurant serves contemporary Australian with fire-focused cooking, solid but not Perth's best. Songbird rooftop bar is the highlight, arguably Perth's best bar for sunset cocktails with river and city views. Room service maintains Ritz standards.

Service

Ritz-Carlton's service philosophy is evident, anticipatory, personalised, and polished. Staff are trained to remember preferences and deliver genuine hospitality. Club Level guests receive additional recognition and dedicated concierge.

Value for Money

At $500-900/night, Ritz-Carlton prices between Crown and COMO while offering the best location. The Elizabeth Quay position, waterfront plus CBD access, is the key value proposition. Best for those unwilling to compromise on either views or convenience.
