Chelsea Social aiming to kick goals in Perth

Perth has a new all day and night dining and drinking spot as of April 1 - and that's no joke.

Housed inside the refurbed ibis Hotel in the centre of the West Australian capital, Chelsea Social "is set to be the city’s premier destination for work and play".

Well, that's what the media release says.

Expect "punchy colours, playful finishes and a London-meets-Perth attitude: this vibrant venue brings something completely new to the city’s dining and social scene".

Open from 6:30am until late, seven days a week, Chelsea Social will be serving up UK-inspired classics with a modern twist.

There will be hearty breakfasts, an all-day dining menu and share platters.



There will also be cocktails, wines and pub favourites, allegedly all with some Chelsea style - the suburb not the football team.

With room for up to 150 guests, Chelsea Social has three distinct spaces: Chelsea Dining Hall, Chelsea Bar, and Chelsea Events.

Open to hotel guests and the public, Chelsea Social will offer a Friday morning breakfast "rave" every week. That means they'll have a DJ. 

"Chelsea Social is designed to be more than just a venue - it's an experience," says hotel manager Sandy Lombardi.

“We’ve created a space that captures the essence of Chelsea London’s refined elegance - where the world’s most coveted brands like Gucci, Chanel, Cartier, and Tiffany & Co are just steps away -beautifully fused with the relaxed charm of Perth to deliver an unparalleled atmosphere in the heart of the CBD."

New look for centrally located ibis Perth

I probably would not want to stay in an ibis hotel for a couple of weeks. 

The rooms are usually pretty compact.  

But if you are looking for somewhere affordable to stay and will be out of your room for most of the day, then the range of ibis brands in the Accor portfolio do the trick - and offer all the facilities a tourist needs. 

I'm told that ibis Perth has undergone a "remarkable transformation", emerging as a contemporary retreat. 

I take claims that a makeover "redefines the economy hotel experience" with a pinch of salt. but the new look does present well. 

The renovations saw an upgrade of all 192 rooms and bathrooms, as well as the lobby and social spaces. 

The redesigned interiors incorporate locally sourced timber, drawing inspiration from Kings Park and Botanic Garden, the movement of the Swan River, and the Art Gallery of Western Australia. 

Bathrooms feature rainfall showers, while the lobby has been transformed into a social hub and a new gym has also been opened. 

Located on Murray Street in the heart of Perth’s CBD, ibis Perth certainly has location on its side. 

Vincent Yeo, CEO of owners CDL Hospitality Trust said: “We are delighted to re-invigorate this hotel which will now offer a significantly upgraded guest experience in the central location that guests have always enjoyed. 

"Our extensive investment throughout the hotel has transformed it into a truly differentiated product in the Perth market.”

ibis Perth will also soon launch its brand-new bar and social hub, Chelsea Social, with music and craft cocktails.
