Hospitality giant Wyndham Hotel Group is strengthening its presence in Western Australia with the announcement of its third Perth hotel, set to open in late 2018.

It will be the first property in the city under the company’s upscale Wyndham brand.

Situated on the corner of the Great Eastern Highway and Fitzroy Road, Wyndham LUX Perth will offer 120 rooms with deluxe finishes.

Facilities include a swimming pool, gym, meeting rooms, a restaurant and a rooftop bar with views of the Swan River.

Site works are set to begin on the property, developed by NXT TEC, in the second half of this year. 

The upscale Wyndham brand connects with guests in major urban and resort destinations around the world by delivering a comfortable environment that exceeds expectations, enhanced by world-class amenities, thoughtful inclusions and tailored service.

Wyndham LUX Perth will become the fifth Wyndham location in Australia, joining those in Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Torquay, Victoria.

“We’re strategically expanding our flagship Wyndham brand in capital cities like Perth where there is a low supply – but increasing demand – for upscale accommodations,” said Barry Robinson, president, Wyndham Hotel Group south-east Asia and Pacific Rim.

“Perth is a growing city visited by millions of interstate and international travellers every year, serving as the gateway to many tourist hotspots across Western Australia and Indonesia, where we now have seven hotels.

“We’ll continue to seek out the right opportunities to grow our presence in the region to offer travellers more options in leading business and leisure destinations.”

Perth tourism has grown remarkably and statistics from Tourism Western Australia show international visitation to the state increased 12.4 per cent in the year ending December 2016 – the highest international visitation has reached for the state.

The city is famous for being the Australian capital with the most hours of sunlight per year and offers a mix of beautiful coastlines, culinary delights and sporting experiences.
