Alex Hotel

Top choice in Perth


A vision of robust contemporary design, the Alex is stylish evidence of Northbridge's social evolution. Classy, compact rooms are decked out in neutral colours, and stacked with fine linen and electronic gear. Relaxed shared spaces include a hip mezzanine lounge (honesty bar and muffins!) and fab city-view roof terrace. Shadow, Alex's street-front wine bar, channels Euro bistro vibes. Excellent stuff.
