Marsupials in the mix
A newcomer to the Springs Rivervale community on the banks of the Swan River, the recently opened Aloft Perth Hotel is bringing new life to Western Australia’s social scene with trendy modern designs and open communal spaces.
“We are delighted that the Aloft brand has arrived in Australia. Our aim is to deliver a gathering place for tech-savvy Next Gen travellers and locals, individuals who value self-expression, style and connectivity,” says Mike Fulkerson, vice president, brand and marketing Asia Pacific.
“Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is a dynamic, growing city, and an important gateway to and from Asia, the Middle East and Europe. The city has an internationally focused export and tourism economy, so we look forward to welcoming business people and travellers from all over the world.”
Aloft Perth exudes a sassy modern style that is reflected in its free-flowing open areas that are imbued with bold, local influences. The hotel’s personality is communicated through a vibrant collection of artwork by well-known Australian artists and an eclectic, modern decor in both its guestrooms and communal spaces.
It offers 224 guestrooms with ultra-comfortable beds, custom amenities by Bliss Spa, fast and free Wi-Fi and 55-inch televisions linked to a Plug and Play connectivity panel. The lively social spaces encourage interactivity amongst guests while the WXYZ bar, with live music ranging from acoustic sets by local artists to DJ mixes, showcases speciality craft cocktails, an extensive wine and beer list and light bites.
The Re:mix (sm) lounge is always abuzz with energy as guests and locals meet, mix and mingle or take a dip in the Splash pool. For those on the go, Re:fuel by Aloft, Aloft’s signature 24/7 grab and go market, provides light meals, mix-and-match munchies, healthy bites, beverages and more.
The signature restaurant Springs Kitchen offers contemporary homemade specialities made with local, fresh produce. It even boasts a pet-friendly terrace, with water bowls and special treats for furry friends, encouraging neighborhood residents and travellers with pets to drop by for a coffee, snack or meal – day or night – accompanied by their four-legged friends.
Business travellers can host innovative meetings in the Tactic meeting rooms, which are suitable for small-scale meetings and large-scale conferences with the capacity for 300 people.
Outside the hotel, the modern city of Perth awaits exploration. Nearby highlights include the Perth Central Business District and Northbridge nightlife and entertainment districts. For a history lesson, head to Fremantle, a maze of streets lined with 19th century Victorian-era architecture that has been adapted into charming cafes and boutiques stocked with local goods. Day trips by boat take visitors to Rottnest Island, home of the unique marsupial, Quokka, or by car to the nearby and very popular Swan Valley vineyards.
