Why you stayThis may be a bar with a view – the Swan River, Perth CBD, Kings Park and Narrows Bridge would all feature in any game of I Spy – but the entire package is about more than photo ops. Songbird is a class act all the way, from the greeting when you exit the elevator, to the goodbye. Even the folk splashing around in the rooftop pool – hotel guests only, we’re afraid – are on their best behaviour. A chilled Café del Mar-style soundtrack lurks in the background. The bar’s gilded marble and metal interiors shimmer at sunset, while an outdoor fireplace and native flora chime with the hotel’s go-WA spirit. In short, there’s plenty to keep you here, even after the sun has gone down.
