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.

With unhurried mornings, long, sun-filled afternoons, evenings shaped around sunset, this iconic beach offers an all-day experience (and it’s about to get even better).
As the sun slowly rises over the languid waves and fine sand of Broome’s Cable Beach, the morning colours shift from rich apricot to pale gold and frosty pearl. Remnants of life reveal themselves in the subtle shadows – crab claw marks, towel impressions, footprints. Life here is unhurried, but don’t be fooled. This town is continually shifting like the desert dunes that surround it.
And with a $75 million upgrade – offering easier and more inclusive access for people of all abilities – it’s getting even better.
Discover the Cable Beach redevelopment.
The addition of comfortable and welcoming spaces has begun (and will continue). This means visitors will be able to spend longer enjoying this beautiful environment, while knowing that the upgrade will create a more environmentally protected setting that preserves the natural character visitors come for. Come sunset, soak it in all the better thanks to the already improved foreshore areas, made for lingering while the light changes. And for the kids, a new splash park and accessible dry playground will make it easy to while away the hours.
Think you know what a day at this beach is like? Think again.
Morning colours

As the sun colours the sky, Cable Beach shows signs of life (and not just the aquatic kind). Locals and visitors alike float in the cool water as it laps the shore, landlubbers explore the coast on foot, runners pace and beachside yoga classes bring quiet movement to the day.
When the sky is blue and the sun is firmly in position, head down to the well-known Cable Beach House for a long, slow breakfast overlooking the ocean. Think fresh tropical fruit, eggs cooked your way and strong coffee in the warm morning breeze.
Afternoon adventures

When you’re ready to explore, carve a path along the Minyirr Park Trail – a gentle 1.5-2km track through coastal bushland with spectacular views of the dunes. Refuel at the nearby Spinifex Brewery for lunch with its low-key, outdoor beer garden. There’s even an outdoor playground if you’re travelling with young humans.
Walk off your lazy lunch by watching (or joining) one of the beach soccer or volleyball games, or even try Silent Beats Broome – a silent walking disco through the dunes. Or book a spot on the famous camel trains, watching the sun drop below the horizon along the way. They’re a constant reminder of the fascinating history, landscape and cultural mix in this part of the country.
Evening degustation

As the day closes, watch the world-famous Cable Beach sunset from the appropriately named Sunset Grill at Cable Beach Club. This open-air terraced dining spot overlooking the beach is the kind of place where the view takes centre stage.
While you sip on a lychee, lime & lemonade mocktail or a local beer, enjoy the bustle of life and nature outside as the day comes to an end.
For dinner, nab a table at the Bali Hai Cafe, where they offer pan-fried crispy barramundi, Abrolhos Island scallops and deep-sea snow crab. When you’re ready for bed, check in to Pinctada Hotel Broome – a lush, tropical resort with palm-dotted gardens and a large, lagoon-style pool to cool off in.
Beyond the beach
Beyond the wide, open beach and never-ending sky of Cable Beach, there are many more reasons to visit North West Australia. These are just a few.
Unmatched experiences
Join Shinju Matsuri Festival’s popular Long Table Dinner. (Credit: Tourism WA)
Engage with the history of the land and its people on an Indigenous cultural tour exploring everything from the local wildlife to the tastes of bush tucker. To understand the importance of pearling to this town, take a tour of Chinatown, or head outside of town to the live pearl harvests at Willie Creek or Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, one of Australia’s oldest pearl farms.
Learn why Japanese pearlers were central to Broome’s pearling success and visit the largest Japanese cemetery in Australia, where 900 Japanese pearlers were buried – a testament to the risks and rewards of this dangerous profession.
And book ahead every spring for when communal tables, freshly cooked local fare and festoon lighting fill the beach for the extremely popular Long Table Dinner on Cable Beach. It’s a highlight of the Shinju Matsuri Festival, along with the Floating Lanterns Matsuri, where you can personalise a lantern and gently release it into the sea to honour those you love.
Dining discoveries

Further your culinary adventure at the laid-back Sunday Sesh at Matso’s Broome Brewery. Chow down on smoked crocodile or Aussie barramundi while kicking back to a local DJ as the heat of the day fades.
For more tunes, the beautiful outdoor Bay Club at the Mangrove Hotel is a great choice for dinner with live music, DJs or an event that stretches on into the early hours. Still hungry? Pop by Johnny Sausage for Italian-influenced meals paired with impeccable wines.
Natural beauties
Experience the striking colours of Gantheaume Point. (Credit: Tourism WA)
Avoid the crowds and head to Town Beach for a quieter vantage point to see the phenomenal Staircase to the Moon – a natural illusion where the rising full moon is reflected on the tidal flats, creating a shimmering ‘staircase’ stretching up to the sky.
Just south of Cable Beach are the deep red cliffs and dramatic ocean views of Gantheaume Point, where 130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints can be seen, revealed at low tide. Or head to Roebuck Bay to visit the internationally significant wetlands, where vast tidal flats are home to shorebirds and coastal fauna.
Between October and March, watch turtles nesting and hatchlings emerge from the sand. You’ll be holding your breath as they make their way down to the shoreline, ready to start their life in one of Australia’s most beautiful landscapes.
