As online travel operator Expedia anticipates Perth will be the number one destination for Australian travellers, Accor's Perth hotels are looking forward to welcoming even more guests to the capital throughout the second half of the year. 

The West Australian capital ranked first in Expedia's Hottest Travel Destinations research, owing to the strong demand the city has so far attracted this year.

Accor's Regional General Manager for WA, Matt Young, says "It's an exciting time for Perth as we see a return of the traditional leisure traveller, following the dip in the Aussie dollar. As the mining trade now moves towards the production phase, it is freeing up mid-week hotel rooms which is great news for the leisure market.

"The increase in flights to the region from the likes of Qatar, Singapore Airlines and Philippine Airlines is very positive for the state and our Perth hotels have seen an increase in international guests as a result. As Perth is going through a renaissance period with new developments opening and the international dining scene growing, I can see why Perth is at the top of the hottest destination list."

In light of the research, Accor's Perth hotels are offering guests the chance to experience for themselves the culture and vibrancy of WA's capital city with a 'Cultural Getaway' package priced from just $129 per room, per night.

As the heart of New York's culture comes to WA, book a stay at either The Sebel Residence East Perth, Mercure Perth, Novotel Perth Langley, Ibis Perth or Ibis Styles Perth over Friday, Saturday and Sunday night and receive two tickets to Van Gogh, Dali and Beyond: The World Reimagined at the Art Gallery of WA, free breakfast for two and 2pm late check out.

Each of the five Accor Perth properties offer ideal locations for exploring the exciting city for a weekend getaway. Within close proximity to heart of the city, guests have the major shopping, dining, entertainment and cultural precincts on their doorstep. With the pending development of the North Bridge City Link, Elizabeth Quay waterfront project, and the recently opened arena, a visit to Perth is an even more attractive venture.

Offer valid for stays from 22 June - 3 December 2013. Terms and conditions apply.
