COMO The Treasury — Hotel in Perth

COMO VALET PARKING Parking was a breeze, we drove in from St George's Trc entrance, parked our car in front of the hotel, and passed on the key to the valet staff. The price for valet parking is reasonable at $25 (4 hours) to $50 for the full day. During our check-in, the staff informed us that the whole State Building is licenced. Meaning you can bring a glass of wine everywhere you go as long as it's within the building. Fun!

COMO THE TREASURY ROOM The room at Como the Treasury is spacious, starting from 55 sqm, all the way to 120 sqm for its Como Suite. We stayed in the Heritage Room, a massive 60 sqm room with a view of Cathedral Square. This room has oversized windows that bring in a lot of natural lights during the day.

Everything in the in-room private-bar is complimentary , and then it will be re-stocked daily. Along with it, there are also complimentary coffee and tea.

I love that they have a heated floor system for the bathroom area. Often found in Asian countries, it was such a luxury to see it in Australia! The bathroom has Como Shambhala amenities, and the smell of the body lotion was so reinvigorating! I’m still using it until now (hahaha). The bathtub works a treat , and there’s always a container full of salt next to it. In the same area, you can find the built-in wardrobe, luggage rack, and comfortable plush robes.

There’s a turn-down service every afternoon, which I looked forward to because of the cute treat that we found on the bed. The first night, it was a copy of a story written by a State Building staff on the day Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. The second night, we got a box of chocolate from Sue Lewis!

COMO SHAMBHALA ‍️ The experience at Como wouldn’t be complete without trying the famous Como Shambhala Urban Escape. We opted for the signature COMO Shambhala Massage (90 minutes). It was such a relaxing massage that I fell asleep immediately. You can access the full wellness menu here. There are four treatment rooms, but only one room with a double bed. If you want to go for a couple massage, you should book the date in advance.

Gym and pool are located on a different floor to the spa, but it is part of the wellness facilities of the hotel. The swimming pool opens until late, and you need the staff to help you access the area after 9 PM. All equipment at the gym is supplied by Technogym, which targeted the area that you want to improve. It’s funny that I couldn’t stop looking at McDonald’s Barrack Street during my workout ‍️ .

We had a wonderful experience at Como the Treasury. It is definitely above the rank, and no wonder they received an award for the best city hotel.

It is within walking distance to the shopping centres and Perth CBD. It has multiple restaurants, and even a dedicated beer and wine bar. Guests will have different choices for meals during the stay - don’t forget...

Best hotel in Perth and honestly, we would go as far to say that Como The Treasury is the best hotel/accomodation we’ve stayed at in Australia as a whole. Accomodations with beautiful interiors and architecture really make us smile, and it’s even better when the atmosphere and hotel staff don’t disappoint too…in fact, the hotel staff are genuinely nice, accomodating and thoughtful. Upon arrival, we got our car valet parked for $50 overnight (which is worth it, we didn’t have to worry about looking for parking elsewhere…which can be a pain in the CBD). Check-in was a breeze, we were welcomed with drinks and had a staff member assisting us and showing us to our room (he even told us a bit about the history of the building). The room itself is a nice size (we booked the smallest room), and well designed/decorated.

Majority of the drinks in the fridge are complimentary (excluding the wine), the nuts and chocolate provided were also complimentary. Drinking water is provided as well, in refillable glass bottles (which are replaced and topped up during turn down service).

Plus, we highly recommend using the tub! The bath salts provided are just divine. It’s an absolutely relaxing experience. The bed linen feels luxurious and comfortable, however I would have preferred the mattress itself to be softer.

Breakfast at Post was included in the room rate for us. We enjoyed the juice most and also the Lychee Black Tea. For lunch and dinner outside of the hotel, lots of restaurants and cafes are in comfortable walking distance from the hotel…so there are heaps of options.

If you want to enjoy a massage/facial at the spa (Como Shambhala), it’s a good idea to give them a call to make a reservation way in advance (especially if you want the couple treatment room). The spa here is very popular.

It’s really a whole package deal when it comes to accomodations, and Como The Treasury hit the nail on the head. We will definitely return for another staycation, and will upgrade...

2nd Visit

This time the top room as used by the Prime Minister and Celebrities (Take That). Room 16. They have kept its original features as much as possible.

Nice room. Ok views.

Had a good meal with tapas at the bar.

Went to the library a cool place to hang out.

1st Visit

Good but not exceptional

Our Taxi driver thought he was taking us to a secret club :D as he had never heard of Como. My wife had been raving on about it being the best in Australia and the second best in the world (allegedly)

On our arrival the door was being fixed and we had to wait outside whilst hoofing our own stuff in. Before we were met by someone in a white shirt who took our stuff from us. Didn't feel very 3 star never mind 5 star.

Check in was quiet and nice. We were given some "Champagne" but this was a Vasse Felix sparkling pinot noir and not technically a Champagne. It was ok. I would expect for the prices charged an actual french premium champagne.

The place was quiet despite being full, we had room 44 which is their largest aside from the suite. It was nicely decorated, light but felt very Ikea'ish / Swedish almost a bit cheap. The amenities were good but the mini bar is included but range not that much.

We used the lap pool which was good but service was SLOOOOOW. we asked for cocktail menu/drinks menu and it took 40 minutes!

The staff were french and were nice to talk to, interactive and attentive.

The corridors were spacious and the hotel decor was very nice.

Look this is probably the best Perth is going to get at present for a boutique hotel. My expectation was much higher based on reviews but compared to Atlantis, Burj Al Arab, Emirates Palace, King George V (Paris) and Baccarat NYC I cannot put the Como into even the...
