QT

If you’re after a stay that marries Perth’s CBD bustle with some classic WA chill, the newly-opened QT is it. Designed by architect Nic Graham, the property is half modern oasis, half love letter to Western Australia. In typical QT style, each detail is carefully considered, with homages to the state’s most beloved icons – printed black cockatoos line the wallpaper, aerial shots of salt mines adorn bathroom benchtops, greenand-purple bedrooms are modelled after the region’s vineyards and the lobby emulates the coastline, with ocean-turquoise and Pindan-rust hues. Head up to the rooftop bar, down to restaurant Santini Grill, or submerge in the cavernous bathtub. qthotelsandresorts.com/perth
