Enhance Your Journey with a Luxury CBD Hotel Stopover
A luxury city escape is ideal for bookending your Walk into Luxury journey. Not only do CBD hotels offer a convenient place to rest between flights, onward transfers, and early-morning pick-ups, but they can enhance your overall experience.
By Walk into Luxury
Setting aside a couple of days on either side of your walk, cruise, or luxury lodge stay will allow you to begin – or finish – your long-awaited Walk into Luxury journey in style. To help inspire you, we’ve rounded up several of our favourite boutique city stays in Perth, Adelaide and Hobart, which all offer a perfect base for relaxing, indulging and exploring.
Perth
Renowned for its beautiful weather, riverside location and laid-back hospitality, spend some time getting (re)acquainted with Perth’s vibrant food and wine precincts, stylish small bars and flourishing arts scene before you continue your travels through Western Australia for our Signature Cape to Cape Walk or to explore Ningaloo Reef and the Kimberley region.
- Housed in Perth’s 140 year old State Buildings, COMO The Treasury Hotel has been voted Australia’s best by Condé Nast Traveler and features two exceptional restaurants and the world-class COMO Shambhala Urban Escape spa.
- Quay Perth Hotel offers stylish, boutique accommodation overlooking Perth's Elizabeth Quay and Swan River. Start the day with a coffee from its sidewalk café and end the night on a high note with rooftop views at the tenth-floor wine bar and kitchen.
- Making the most of its enviable waterfront location on Elizabeth Quay, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel offers guests sweeping views of the Swan River and Perth skyline, as well as glamorous dining venues and an indulgent day spa.

Adelaide’s thriving restaurant and bar scene, vibrant cultural precinct and tranquil botanical gardens make it an ideal choice for a luxury city escape before (or after) your journey to Kangaroo Island, the Barossa Valley or the South Australian outback.

Hobart
If you’re travelling to Tasmania for our Signature 4 Day Lake St Clair Walk (or any of our other luxury guided walks in Tasmania), don’t miss the opportunity to allocate some extra time in Hobart to discover its rich history, cosmopolitan charm and premium dining experiences.
