Hotel in St Georges Terrace, Perth CBD, Western Australia, Western Australia
Como The Treasury
A boutique luxury hotel housed in WA's beautiful 1879 heritage-listed Treasury and State Buildings, combining Victorian Gothic architecture with contemporary luxury. Home to Perth's finest restaurant, Wildflower, and the award-winning Post restaurant. Only 48 suites ensure an intimate, personalised experience.
Como The Treasury occupies a pair of historic government buildings at the heart of Perth's CBD — the Old Treasury Building (1874) and the State Buildings — which were meticulously restored and adapted for hotel use in 2015. The property sits on Cathedral Avenue adjacent to St George's Cathedral, one block north of the Hay Street and Murray Street shopping precincts, and is directly connected to Perth Train Station via the underground Forrest Place walkway. The State Buildings complex includes a public arcade of restaurants and bars that adds vitality to the precinct.
The architecture is Victorian Gothic, with ornate sandstone facades, arched verandahs, and high ceilings that have been preserved and integrated into the contemporary interior design. With only 48 suites — no standard rooms — the hotel operates with an intimacy more characteristic of a boutique property than a five-star city hotel. All suites are large by Perth standards, featuring heritage detailing, bespoke furniture, marble bathrooms, and COMO's signature Bamford bath amenities.
Como The Treasury's food and beverage programme is among Perth's finest. Wildflower, the rooftop restaurant, earns consistent critical acclaim for its interpretation of indigenous Western Australian ingredients through a modern fine-dining lens, with menu items drawing on Noongar food traditions and WA's seasonal harvest. The Post, occupying the former General Post Office space on the ground floor of the State Buildings arcade, serves all-day dining in a grand, high-ceilinged setting. The Telegram Bar offers cocktails and light fare in the same heritage precinct.
The rooftop terrace adjacent to Wildflower offers one of the best elevated views of the Perth CBD. Guests also have access to Springs, COMO's wellness spa brand, which provides a full menu of treatments, a lap pool, and a compact but well-equipped fitness studio. Butler service is available in all suites.
Service at Como The Treasury is highly personalised — the property is known for the quality and attentiveness of its team, which extends from arrival valet through to dedicated guest relations. The property is popular with corporate travellers and leisure guests alike, positioned centrally enough for business access to the Golden Mile of offices along St Georges Terrace while offering genuine heritage ambience that chain hotels in the precinct cannot match.
