Perth doesn’t offer many top notch hotels – odd, since it’s now such a foodie destination – but freshly upgraded Parklands gets a god 4 star boutique hotel rating; its very good food anchors that view. The extended town house enjoys a prime site; gardens and terrace overlook South Inch Park so it lives up well to its name. No. 1 The Bank conservatory-style bistro to the front is excellent; fine-dining 63@Parklands serves some of the city's best cuisine (Thurs - Mon). Décor in the hall, reception and lounge is all very trad; bedrooms are modern, well-equipped with decent TVs, CD players, powerful free wi-fi, up-to-date bathrooms. Corporate clients like the unpretentious feel, good service and meeting facilities. Parking is free, safe. Design Gold Medal 2011.
Need to know > Of the 15 bedrooms, 9 are superiors; park-facing Oakbank is arguably best, has big bathroom > City of Perth room has leather tub armchairs, big bathroom, twin sinks plus corner spa bath > Moncrieff is a spacious superior; big flat TV, 100+ channels; roomy loo if floorboards squeaky > Two of the superior bedrooms, Almond and Atholl, are on the ground floor for easier access > We like Friarton, a nicely-done, park-facing standard double with large bathroom, well-lit mirror > Letham is a contemporary, rear-facing standard twin; nice modern décor, TV perhaps a bit small > No. 1 The Bank is an extremely good bistro; terrific food lunch and dinner: everything's high quality > 63@Parklands menu is exciting; talented chefs led by Graeme Pallister create acclaimed cuisine > Owner Scott Edwards is into wine and the seasonally-changing wine list is full of his inspirations > Breakfast offers a buffet with plenty fruit; good hot dishes include fish, or full grill with tasty haggis We love… ... The quiet setting and easy city-centre parking - yet Perth train station is just 5 mins' walk … Parkland’s approach to food and wine: it can be casual yet quality, or urbane and special … Sunny days here when the terrace with its quality furniture and the garden are a boon … The fast, free wi-fi which is one of the ‘business class’, 4-star hotel advantages … Sister restaurant 63 Tay Street: top food by Executive Chef of the Year 2010 Graeme Pallister
