COMO The Treasury - LUXURY HOTEL IN PERTH
Majestic landmark re-imagined as a modern retreat in Perth’s Cathedral Square
From the soaring ceilings to the carved white columns, there’s a sense of grandeur about COMO The Treasury. The buildings have housed state government offices for the past 140 years. Today, this cosmopolitan boutique hotel combines modern styling and preserved period features. With a luxury spa, views of the iconic Town Hall from the pool and two restaurants, it’s a haven and social hotspot in one.
The 48 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites are designed by internationally renowned Kerry Hill Architects to reflect the highest standards of international luxury and average in size at a spacious 75 sqm. In each are huge windows, custom-made beds and freestanding bathtubs. For dinner, choose between the convivial atmosphere of Post, or modern fine dining in Wildflower. In between, the Treasury Lounge and Bar is a relaxed spot for afternoon tea or cocktails after dark.
COMO The Treasury is set within Cathedral Square – putting you at close quarters with Perth’s historic heart and contemporary soul. You’ll be near to city-centre sights, from St. George’s Cathedral to Perth Concert Hall. Wander through Kings Park, enjoy a picnic at one of the nearby beaches or take the family to Perth Zoo. Sports fans will be well served too, with a number of golf courses not far away.

One of the best places we’ve stayed!
March 2019
My Trip Type: Family
We were travelling in Australia with our four month old baby and decided to treat ourselves on our last night. The attention to detail and service provided by the employees was some of the best we’ve experienced. They had even bought our baby a small gift! The room was out of this world and again one of the best hotel rooms we’ve stayed in. We ate in the Long Chim restaurant which we would highly recommend!
Top tip for other guests:
Great location and a real treat!!

Very disappointing decline
February 2019
I've stayed several times at this hotel. Up till my last stay in Feb 2018, this hotel has been impeccable - attention to detail and service has been second to none in all my stays across Australia. Unfortunately I found a severe decline during my recent stay in March 2019 - guest services got me mixed up with another guest, the doormen on multiple occasions simply did not bother to greet or help me with my travel arrangements/luggage, coffee cup/bath tub was unkempt, and asking for something as simple as a toothbrush took 3 phone calls. Most tellingly, after sending a review to COMO directly I have yet to hear from them. It would seem reflective of their current lack of interest in maintaining their exceptional level of service that they used to be known for. I have been very disappointed overall and would not recommend this hotel, particularly given the variety of choices that have recently become available in Perth.
Top tip for other guests:
Breakfast/room service is good.

Staying at home
Stay date: October 2016
My Trip Type: Couple
Staying in your own city might seem an unusual way to spend a holiday but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The hotel is exceptional - the service, accommodation, food opportunities and the pool - stunning. We wandered, rested, read, ate and enjoyed the ambience.
Top tip for other guests:
Evensong on a Sunday night at the cathedral opposite was a treasure. A leisurely walk to the Art Gallery of Western Australia worth doing and of course the Quay and connection to the river.
