PEPPERS KINGS SQUARE HOTEL 621 Wellington Street, Perth, WA; peppers.com.au/kings-square Verdict: Prime city spot for those wanting quiet while still being central. It’s a fairly as-you’d-expect hotel offering, with shiny new finishes and some arty flourishes. Score: We rated: The launch pad location to the city’s hip northern side. We’d change: The ground floor elevator access feels like the back of house operations, which is jarring after the snazzy bar-reception. Notes: An Executive Room with city views booked as a ‘Peppers exclusive’ cost $179 plus credit card charges. Valet parking costs an extra $38; breakfast is an additional $20 if pre-booked, or $29 if ordered on the day.
