BEST MINIBAR
Como The Treasury, Perth, WA
The layered Czech honey cakes beneath a glass cloche are the first surprise among Como The Treasury’s in-room refreshments. The second surprise is that they’re all complimentary. A guilt-free bowl of seasonal fruit (ripe summer peaches if you’re lucky) sits beside jars of cashew nuts, crisps and chocolate. The free drinks selection includes mixers, juices, WA craft beers and bottled water. Extra points for the fresh milk, teas by Jing, the rustic glazed crockery by Perth’s Eucalypt Homewares, Beltrami linen napkins and the custom-fitted, felt-lined drawers of gleaming Riedel glassware. comohotels.com
