Mr Desange said the sale represented an outstanding opportunity to acquire a world-class hotel in a premier location.

Its premier location offers easy access to Perth’s office district, capturing both the corporate market and catering to leisure guests,” Mr Desange said.
“Perth is quickly becoming the beneficiary of purchasers being priced out of Sydney and Melbourne and is now considered to be a market in the growth phase of its economic recovery. Investors are spending more time concentrating on Perth acquisitions to ensure they can deliver targeted returns.”
