Why it's worth checking out
The National Hotel sits on High Street in the heart of Fremantle, Perth's beloved historic port city. A much-loved historic pub and hotel, it's a genuine Freo landmark — combining a gorgeous heritage building with a relaxed, characterful pub atmosphere, quality food, good drinks, a famous rooftop and accommodation, all in the heart of the historic West End.
The appeal is that combination of genuine heritage character, a great pub atmosphere, quality food and drinks, a lovely rooftop and accommodation, ideal for a meal, a drink, a rooftop session or a characterful stay in historic Fremantle. The stunning old building, the rooftop and Freo's easygoing charm make it a real drawcard, and the National has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 2,100 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, the rooftop, accommodation, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — though for a meal, a drink on the rooftop or a characterful stay in historic Fremantle, it's often just a matter of heading to the National Hotel.
