Where to Find The Best Hotels Fremantle Has to Offer

With its long history and exciting culture, Fremantle is a popular tourist destination. It has been attracting visitors since the end of the nineteenth century, and more and more visitors come each year to visit. Due to the popularity of the harbour neighbourhood, Fremantle has a number of interesting and attractive hotels. Guests can choose to stay in a modern building close to the town centre, or you may like to complete your tour of this historic harbour with a room in one of the many traditional hotels in the area.

The Esplanade Hotel

Also known as Cranworth House, this hotel can be found at the corner of Marine Terrace and Essex Street. The building that currently stands on the site was built in 1875, and was extended in 1884. The following year, it was converted into a hotel, and by 1896 it had become an established commercial hotel. Although it has been changed many times, particularly in altering of the facade and enlarging the building, it is still one of the most fascinating and attractive hotels Fremantle has to offer.

The National Hotel and the Hougoumont Hotel

Another historic hotel, the National hotel, has had a massive transformation in recent years. It was seriously damaged by fire in 2007, which left the outer shell of the historic building but required complete refurbishment inside. This has meant that guests at this location are able to enjoy both a historic building, but with all of the mod-cons of the modern hotel.

The Hougoumont, like the National, is an historic building which has been updated to accommodate the needs of modern tourists. It is located close to the Cappuccino strip, and is also within walking distance of the hotels, museums and shopping spaces. It is also near to other interesting places such as the Roundhouse and Port Beach. With all of this close by, guests can use the Hougoumont as a resting spot between exploration of Fremantle.

Hotels with modern convenience

If you want to stay in a hotel which is away from the hustle and bustle of the busy shopping areas, then you need to look at locations such as the Pier 21 Apartment hotel, located in North Fremantle. It is close to the river and the marina, and has a range of luxurious suites which can be enjoyed by tourists. It is one of the best luxury hotels Fremantle has to offer, and has won awards for its use of technology and old-fashioned luxury. The apartment style of living means that there is self-catering, Wi-Fi and broadband, AC and a working desk. There is also a pool which can be used, and great views of the Swan River.
