West Perth is now home to one of IHG’s fastest growing hotel brands, Holiday Inn.

Located within walking distance to Kings Park, Holiday Inn West Perth is IHG’s first Perth property outside of the city centre. Part of the hotel’s charm is the former 1902 Walsh Family residence which sits at the front of the property as a destination restaurant, as will the two character-filled boardrooms that currently occupy the space. Additionally, all 101 guestrooms are undergoing a soft refurbishment to bring it in line with Holiday Inn’s standard, and what our guests want.

The moment a guest steps into our hotel, they walk into a genuinely memorable experience. As a Guest Service Agent, you’ll not only be the person they rely on to handle transactions, offer local insights and anticipate every detail of a seamless experience… you’ll also create the warm atmosphere that makes our guests feel at home.

Fluency in the local language – extra language skills would be great, but not essential.
