Perth Airport’s first on-site hotel, the Pullman Perth Airport, is shaping up to be more than a quick overnight stay, with newly released design details teasing a resort-style experience.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026 on the 240-room property, which features a curved, aerodynamic design with metal fins inspired by aircraft panels.
According to the plans, from upper-level rooms, guests will look out over the airfield or across to the Perth skyline.
Meanwhile, a rooftop pool and bar aim to create a resort-like atmosphere, offering a front-row view of arriving and departing aircraft.
On arrival, a landscaped forecourt sets a calmer tone, while a covered Skybridge walkway will provide a seamless connection between the terminal and the hotel.
“The new Pullman Perth Airport hotel will be a world-class facility located at the front door to our major terminals. It will make it even more convenient for international and interstate visitors, providing a place to stay and relax during connections,” Skyfields by Perth Airport Chief Property Officer Dan Sweet said.
“Travellers can also use it as a base to explore Perth’s iconic attractions – it’s just 15 minutes to the CBD, Optus Stadium or wineries in the Swan Valley, and 30 minutes to spectacular beaches along Australia’s western coast.”
Accor Pacific Chief Operating Officer, Adrian Williams, said, “every element, from architecture and interiors through to the rooftop experience, has been intentionally crafted to serve the needs of today’s lifestyles”.
“By blending Pullman’s global perspective with design cues inspired by Western Australia, the hotel will offer an experience that is globally connected yet locally grounded, where design actively shapes how guests engage, connect and move through the destination,” he added.
Architecture, interiors and landscaping are being delivered as a single, master-planned vision by DKO Architecture.
“Perth Airport is not only the gateway to WA, but also Australia’s front door to Asia and beyond. The design schemes ensure that every stay is not generic, but deeply tied to WA’s landscapes and stories,” DKO Architecture Director Dennis Chew said.
“The strong sense of place is captured in the interiors, with colour palettes and materials that are deeply rooted in WA’s diverse landscapes – the Pilbara’s raw earth and ancient stories, the Kimberley’s lush plantations and warm timbers, and Esperance’s coastal calm.”
KARRYON UNPACKS: For Aussie agents, this is a handy new sell: an airport hotel that behaves like a destination. Think more premium stopovers and early departures made easier.
