COMO The Treasury is a luxury hotel located in the heart of Perth, Western Australia, occupying the 19th-century State Buildings on the corner of St Georges Terrace and Barrack Street.
THE STORY OF THE STATE BUILDINGS
The Old Treasury Buildings (as they were formerly known) were constructed between 1875 and 1958. Housing various public offices of State until the mid-1990s, they retained a remarkable architectural cohesion through the use of Victorian Georgian, Victorian Second Empire and Federation Free Classical styles.
The buildings were sadly left vacant from the mid-1990s, until a vision to restore these beautiful buildings and bring them back to life began. Redevelopment commenced in November 2012, with Palassis Architects engaged as the Heritage Architect for the initial stages, and Kerry Hill Architects as the restoration architect and interior designer.
The Old Treasury Buildings now renamed The State Buildings began their new life on October 15th 2015 as home to a myriad of innovative restaurants, elegant boutiques, and a luxurious contemporary hotel, COMO the Treasury.
