From the moment you walk into the soaring lobby of Crown Towers Perth, it feels like a special occasion. This five‑star hotel on the Burswood peninsula is Crown Perth’s most luxurious property, and it makes an indulgent base for a family staycation, with spacious rooms, resort‑style pools and easy access to dining, entertainment and riverfront walks.
Rooms at Crown Towers Perth are designed with both style and comfort in mind, and work well for families. A popular option is the Deluxe Twin room, which offers two generous beds, making it ideal for parents travelling with one or two children. Rooms are beautifully appointed with bespoke furniture, large flat‑screen TVs with streaming and Foxtel, a chaise or seating area, and floor‑to‑ceiling windows with views to the Swan River, city skyline or Darling Ranges.
Bathrooms are a real highlight. The marble ensuites often feature deep soaking baths (some with TV viewing), separate rain showers, premium toiletries, fluffy towels and quality hairdryers. Families appreciate the practical touches such as generous storage, ironing facilities, a safe, complimentary bottled water and high‑speed Wi‑Fi. A Nespresso machine and tea‑making facilities are on hand for parents, while the deluxe minibar is stocked with treats like Koko Black chocolates and premium drinks for a special night in. For larger families or those wanting more space, interconnecting rooms and suites are available on request.
Outside the room, the resort‑style pool deck is where many guests choose to spend most of their time. Crown Towers’ multi‑level pool area opens early and runs into the early evening, with a mix of lagoon pools, a shallow beach‑entry section that suits younger children, and a small circular plunge pool around 90 cm deep – perfect for kids who are gaining water confidence.
There isn’t a full dedicated kids’ water Playground here (that’s more the domain of neighbouring Crown Metropol), but the gentle entry pool and variety of depths work well for families, and there are cabanas and loungers dotted around so parents can relax while keeping an eye on the water.
A poolside games cabana with foosball and a pool table adds another activity option for school‑aged kids and tweens.
Food and drink are a big part of the Crown Towers experience. Families can order meals and snacks to their loungers and enjoy an easy poolside lunch or early dinner – think kids’ favourites like fish and chips, nuggets or spaghetti bolognese, alongside salads, burgers and more refined options for adults.
Inside the wider Crown Perth complex, there’s a huge choice of restaurants ranging from casual family‑friendly spots to celebrity‑chef fine dining such as Nobu and Rockpool. Breakfast at Epicurean is a treat in itself, with the option of the famous buffet or ordering à la carte and sitting outside when the weather is fine.
If breakfast at the hotel isn’t included in your room rate or you’re after a more budget‑friendly option, you can head downstairs to the Crown Perth food court where there’s a McDonald’s for a quick, familiar start to the day.
If you’re staying at Crown Towers, it’s also worth making time for a visit to TWR (The Waiting Room), the glamorous lobby bar just off the hotel entrance. With jewel‑toned velvet lounges, a dramatic bar and an outdoor terrace overlooking the Swan River, it feels very grown‑up, but it’s also surprisingly workable with kids at the right time of day.
TWR serves coffee from 7am and offers a daytime food menu, so you can duck in for a mid‑morning coffee, afternoon treat or pre‑dinner snack with the children. Under Crown Perth’s rules, patrons under 18 must always be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and children are welcome at TWR until 8pm as long as they are supervised by their responsible adult. That makes early evenings a lovely window to enjoy a mocktail or hot chocolate for the kids and a cocktail or glass of wine for the grown‑ups before moving on to dinner elsewhere in the complex or back to your room for bedtime.
Beyond the hotel, the location is a major plus for families. Just across the riverfront paths is Optus Stadium and the Chevron Parklands Playground, one of Perth’s best nature play areas, and The Camfield micro‑brewery, which is popular with families for casual meals. A stroll along the Swan River foreshore gives you city views and plenty of space for scooters and bikes. Back at Crown, there’s easy access to cinemas, bars and entertainment for parents if you’re taking turns to sneak out after bedtime, or you’re travelling with older teens.
Crown Towers also features the exclusive Crystal Club (for eligible room types or add‑on access), offering a quieter lounge space with breakfast, afternoon tea and evening canapés, and Crown Spa for indulgent treatments if you can carve out a child‑free window. The hotel’s “Summer Getaway” and other seasonal offers via Crown Direct can sometimes help families save on longer stays or get added inclusions like breakfast or resort credit.
With its luxurious rooms, impressive pools and unbeatable access to both Crown Perth’s dining and the Burswood riverfront, Crown Towers Perth is a standout choice for a splurgey family escape. If your budget allows, booking two nights rather than one will give you time to truly relax by the pool, explore the peninsula and still enjoy lazy mornings making the most of those blackout curtains and late checkout.
