Key facts about COMO The Treasury

COMO The Treasury has 48 rooms and suites across eleven categories, in three restored heritage buildings on Cathedral Avenue in the Perth CBD. The smallest room is 45 sq m, which is unusually generous for a city hotel.

Overview of COMO The Treasury

COMO The Treasury occupies the State Buildings, a 19th-century complex in the revitalised historic heart of Perth that once held the General Post Office, the land and titles departments and the state treasury. Restoration revealed the grand Victorian-era façade. Inside, the style is contemporary and restrained across 48 rooms and suites.

The hotel sits on the corner of St Georges Terrace and Barrack Street, opposite Stirling Gardens and the Supreme Court Gardens. Elizabeth Quay, the Swan River and the Hay Street and Murray Street malls are all within a few minutes on foot. A little further afield, but still within walking distance, are the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, Kings Park and luxury fashion destination Raine Square.

The State Buildings also hold a hand-picked retail collective and further dining, so the precinct works as a destination in its own right rather than only as a place to sleep.

Who COMO The Treasury is best for

COMO The Treasury is best suited to couples, food-led travellers, business travellers, families and guests who want a heritage building with contemporary rooms in the centre of Perth. It suits travellers who want space, character and walkability, rather than a beachfront or a riverside tower.

Wine lovers can explore curated tastings, masterclasses and seasonal wine luncheons, with Wine Merchant offering an extensive selection within the State Buildings.
