Why it's worth checking out

Wonil Hotel Perth – Handwritten Collection offers a four-star stay beside the Swan River, with a setting that brings together contemporary design, comfortable accommodation and easy access to Perth’s city attractions. The hotel is positioned around 5km from Perth CBD, with Kings Park and Botanic Gardens, Elizabeth Quay, Perth Zoo and the WA Museum Boola Bardip among the nearby places listed by the hotel. The University of Western Australia is also close by, making the property a practical base for university visits as well as Perth getaways.

Rooms and suites are designed with modern furnishings, plush bedding and views towards either the city or the river. Several room types include balconies, while the river-view options are oriented towards the Swan River. The hotel also lists dual-key rooms for groups of up to five people and accessible king rooms. On-site facilities include Wi-Fi, air conditioning, breakfast, a restaurant, meeting rooms and wheelchair access. Parking is limited and should be arranged with reception in advance; additional parking options are available nearby under the conditions outlined by the hotel.

Food and drink are centred on West Kitchen & Bar, a relaxed venue serving straightforward plates alongside a selection of Australian wines. The hotel describes its cuisine as sustainable and locally sourced, while the restaurant space takes in views across Perth. Breakfast is available, and the property also provides multifunctional spaces and four meeting rooms, with the largest able to accommodate up to 200 people. The hotel’s reception team can arrange access to the University of Western Australia gymnasium, located 450 metres away, where guests can request a complimentary seven-day pass during their stay.

The name Wonil comes from a Noongar word for peppermint tree, a traditional medicinal tree found along the Swan River. That connection informs the hotel’s focus on respect for Country, locally sourced food and experiences intended to encourage curiosity. The property is entirely non-smoking, does not accept cash and does not allow pets. Its combination of river views, family-friendly accommodation, accessible room options, meeting facilities and proximity to UWA makes it suited to couples, families, solo travellers and business guests looking for a base in Perth.
