Making its Western Australian debut, Hyde Perth brings the globally recognised yet fiercely local hotel brand to the city, blending design, culture, music and hospitality in a stay that taps into Perth’s creative energy.
There’s a new breed of lifestyle hotels that invite you to be part of the club and Hyde Perth is one of them.
Opened in March 2026, Hyde Perth is the latest Australian opening from lifestyle hospitality company Ennismore, in joint venture with Accor, whose collective of boutique brands has made several Australian debuts over the past year. Among them are the individualistic 25hours Hotel Sydney The Olympia, which found new life in an old Sydney theatre, and the architectural Mondrian, which ushered in a new era of luxury on the Gold Coast.
Born out of Los Angeles’ nightlife culture in 2005, Hyde is the bohemian wild child of the gang, inspired by a festival spirit and designed to plug into the creative heart of its location. The new Perth outpost joins Hyde Melbourne Place and is the brand’s first purpose-built property: a complete transformation of a late-1960s building in the heart of the CBD. Adopting a global lens through a Western Australian filter, it is conceived to be a cultural conduit in the city.

Style and character

Maybe it is the music. The melodic electronic beats that bounce lightly on the breeze flowing through the open windows of the ground-level lounge. Or the colour palette. A textured layering of earthy tones offset by flashes of colour: abstract art cutting through the calming neutrals of the light-filled lobby. The acid green of the logo emblazoned on an in-room tote bag I covet.
Is it the lighting? Natural and ambient. The fragrance? Western Australian lemon myrtle and Australian cedar, layered with citrus and given warmth by patchouli: an olfactory grounding in the local landscape. Whatever it is, when I check into Hyde Perth, I think: this is my kind of hotel.
Hyde is a lifestyle brand that blends elevated design with an eclectic spirit to create its signature ‘boho chic’ calling card. Rooted in the music culture of Los Angeles, the brand was born on the legendary Sunset Strip with the opening of Hyde Lounge in 2005.

Since then, Hyde has evolved to include Hyde Hotels and Residences, Beach Clubs and Mixology Lounges in some of the world’s most dynamic destinations including Miami, London and Bodrum, with each property drawing inspiration from its surrounding music, arts and creative communities.
In Perth, this global perspective is anchored in the city’s character. Visually, it is translated into a palette that takes its cues from Perth’s distinctive natural light and Western Australia’s earthy material palette: all sun-kissed and earth tones, hand-laid stone, richly grained timbers and bespoke furnishings.
Art conjures both Australia’s natural landscapes and the expressive nature of music. Some at the same time: Elefteria Vlavianos’ striking Rothko-esque works that hang in the light-filled lobby evoke both a Western Australian sunset and a musical pulse.

Hyde Perth’s restaurant and bars

Hyde Perth’s signature culinary experience is FARRA, a Greek-inspired restaurant, pool bar and terrace housed within the hotel.
The ground-floor dining room peels back the hotel aesthetic a layer to reveal an interior space of muted, earthy tones – clay, taupe, stone – that appear baked and bleached by the Aegean sun. Soft, curved lines mirror the ebb and flow of the tide. Its menu reflects that same sense of a Greek Island holiday, anchored by Western Australian produce.
An order of flatbread and house-baked koulouri – a type of Greek bread ring smothered in sesame seeds – is non-negotiable to start, paired with a fava dip topped with bush tomato and beach herbs and a fresh, zingy tzatziki. A mezedes menu of share plates is broken into earth, land and sea, while dishes from the grill include whole line-caught fish, Skull Island prawns or saltbush lamb cutlets. And don’t skip the yiaourtopita – a light yoghurt cake served with fig and almond ice-cream – for dessert. The wine list includes both Mediterranean and Western Australian drops.

FARRA pool bar spills outside with an all-day menu that takes you from afternoon spritz to happy hour to sundowners, offering light bites – think fried calamari or tomato keftedes – and more substantial souvlakis and burgers. The bar menu is paired with a long drinks list spanning signature cocktails like the Aegean Sour (ouzo, yellow chartreuse and maraschino liqueur with lemon and mint), beers on tap, Champagne and wines.
Or take it upstairs to the FARRA Terrace, a rooftop bar with city views designed to host sunset sessions and DJ sets.
Relaxed breakfasts can be enjoyed on sunny mornings poolside.
