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, and its first for Perth under the company’sÊglobally recognised 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. The hotel is conveniently located within 6km of the Perth CBD, the WA Cricket Ground and Perth Stadium, and is within walking distance of the Swan River and Crown Casino.
Site works are set to begin on the property, developed by NXT TEC. Ltd., in the second half of this year. Wyndham LUX Perth will be managed by Resort Management by Wyndham, which currently oversees a further 11 properties across Australia.
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. The brand is experiencing steady growth in the South East Asia and South Pacific region with the established Wyndham Resort Denarau Island in Fiji and recent openings of Wyndham Sea Pearl Resort Phuket and Wyndham Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali.
