By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, book it if you want Perth's top-rated five-star stay in our sample, with a spa, a pool and staff guests rave about, a short walk from Elizabeth Quay. Skip it if you are counting costs, because valet parking and dining add up and our Budget pick was about €239 cheaper per night.

The Ritz-Carlton, Perth suits couples, business travellers and families who want full five-star facilities in the city centre. The property lists a spa, a pool, a gym, a restaurant, family rooms, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
Travellers on a strict budget will feel the extras. Guests praise the facilities but say valet parking and dining prices are high. If you plan to drive or eat most meals in the hotel, the true cost of the stay will be well above the room rate.
Location and getting around
The address is 1 Barrack Street, in Perth's central business district, and guests rate the location 9.7. They describe a central waterfront spot near Elizabeth Quay, with easy access to the city and the river.
Central Park, the skyscraper, is about 0.6 km away, roughly 8 minutes on foot. Perth Zoo is about 2 km, around 25 minutes. Kings Park is about 2.6 km, roughly 33 minutes, so it counts as far; most people will want public transport or a taxi to get there. All times are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 1,827 reviews, the joint top position among 16 eligible properties in the sample. Staff are the standout: guests talk about friendly, professional and attentive service throughout their stay.
The location near the quay is the other big plus. The main complaint is value for money once you add parking and food. A buffet breakfast is offered, but guest comments on it are not in our data. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed.
Price compared with our other two Perth picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults were €340.50 per night, about €681 for the two nights. The sample median was €235.69, so this sits at the top of the market. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Great Southern Hotel Perth, four stars and 8.5, was €101.41 per night. Our Best Value pick, Quay Perth, four stars and 8.7, was €212.84. The Ritz-Carlton costs about €128 more per night than Quay Perth and about €239 more than Great Southern. The extra buys five stars, a spa and pool, and the highest guest score of the three.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 16 eligible properties in Perth, a larger sample than in many cities. The Luxury slot gives priority to five-star hotels, and this official five-star property shares the top review score. That combination made it our choice.
