The newly appointed Wonil Hotel Perth is Accors first Handwritten Hotel to open in Australia. Architecturally designed with a focus on the natural landscape, education and sustainability- a contemporary fit-out is complemented by indigenous artworks and textiles.
Wonil is the indigenous word for Peppermint Tree, the property is framed by towering gum trees and a majestic peppermint tree is located on the banks of the Swan River. Wall to ceiling glass captures the natural surrounds, with an alfresco deck to catch the sun setting across the water.
The rooms are spacious in design, with high ceilings, modern amenities, and a fusion of raw materials and earthy hues. Conveniently located adjacent to the University of Western Australia, there are 66 rooms to choose from, from a standard fit-out to executive suites that take in the river and city beyond.
The West Kitchen and Bar is the hotels premier dining space and is a showcase of the freshest local produce and fine wines the region has on offer. The open plan design, captures the bush feels and the beauty of the vast river. There’s a luxurious lounge area, peppered with local art, and a cosy book corner to unwind-next to the bar.
Wonil Hotel prides itself on impeccable and friendly service and is committed to education and innovation. The profits from the hotel go directly to the neighbouring ‘Forest Institute’, to support leading academics in future research and development.
Wonil Hotel is more than a hotel, it’s an example of how tourism and education can work together to create a more sustainable future.
