National Hotel, Heritage hotel in Fremantle, Australia
The National Hotel is a five-story structure of stone and brick with extended balconies located at the corner of High and Market Streets. A prominent dome crowns the facade and anchors this historic building within the streetscape.
The building began in 1868 as a commercial shop and housed the National Bank in the 1880s. The conversion to a hotel occurred in 1886, marking its long-term function in the city.
The ground floor public bar features daily live music performances, while the first floor contains a lounge bar and restaurant serving modern Australian cuisine.
The site features multiple levels with dining and hospitality areas plus a rooftop bar with city views available from midday onward. Visitors can experience different spaces within this multi-story complex at various times throughout the day.
The building survived multiple fire incidents in 1975 and 2007 before undergoing major restoration work. The restoration was completed in 2013, returning the structure to its historical character and function.

Perth's rooftop bars sit high above the city, giving you views that stretch across the skyline and down to the river. You'll find bars in all parts of town, from the waterfront at Elizabeth Quay to the heart of downtown, each with its own feel. Some are sleek and contemporary, while others have a more relaxed, laid-back vibe. Whether you want to sip a cocktail in a modern space, try creative drinks with local beer, or grab noodles at an Asian-inspired rooftop, these spots let you enjoy the city from above. Many have live music on weekends, and you can sit outside to catch the evening air. Each venue offers its own reason to visit, whether you're looking for a quiet drink or a lively night out with friends.
