COMO The Treasury, Perth & Margaret River, Australia, Australasia

The fabulous new Treasury hotel occupies a group of late Victorian stone and brick buildings – known at ‘State Buildings’ which have played an important role in the Perth’s history in the past 140 years, serving variously as a post office, land titles office, and treasury. COMO hotels - Turquoise favourites, known for their luxury touches and world class service have transformed this heritage space into a truly world class hotel, fantastically located close the shops and restaurants and in walking distance to the Quay and Kings Park.

While the hotel looks like a Neoclassical palace on the outside, inside it has a stripped back, modern feel with natural colours used throughout - a perfect fusion of contemporary chic meets classic heritage. The architecture includes columns and bold, cantilevered balconies designed in flamboyant neo-Renaissance style. The restoration project has returned 95 per cent of the buildings to their 19th-century origins, including the re-installation of dormer windows and Victorian roofs finished with copper trimmings.
