Australia’s West Coast is booming, proof of which is the growing number of design-savvy hotels that are cropping up within the state’s borders. Perth in particular recently welcomed its own QT and at its top a rooftop bar on which guests can kick back, relax, and take in the city skyline (including views of the iconic Perth Building, Bell Tower and neighbouring Swan River. Dubbed The Rooftop at QT the bar sits on the 18th floor of the city’s most recent design hotel and is open till late, seven days a week.

The bar can host up to 200 guests and is split between indoor and outdoor space equally. Created by Public Space Designer Nic Graham, the bar was spawned with the intention that it can host soireees year round, despite the season or the weather. The décor has embraced the style for which the QT is renowned; a West Australian colour palette is complimented by hand-painted artwork and graphics throughout the space. As well as a vibrant design, this new Perth bar also offers an equally vivacious soundtrack created by QT’s Creative Music Director Andrew Lewis.

There’s plenty to choose from in terms of tipple, including many takes on traditional offerings. The ‘Rooftop Fashion’ is a blend of Bulleit Rye Whisky, Amaro Montenegro and Spiced Orange Bitters and ‘The Beezness’ a fresh mix of Tanqueray Gin, Poire Williams Liqueur, QT Rooftop Honey and Lemon, topped with seasonal Beer. There are four unique spritzes that form a menu of its own to boot; the Bergamot Spritz, the Pink Grapefruit, the Yuzu Spritz, the Sugar Snap Spritz and the Strawberry and Plum Spritz.
