Duxton hotel starts $35m renovation

Duxton Hotel Perth has started on the second stage of a $35 million refurbishment, which will upgrade 30 rooms and several function spaces.

The 16-storey hotel on 1 St Georges Terrace is owned by Low Keng Huat Limited, an investment company with assets in Singapore, Malaysia and Australia.

In a statement, Duxton Hotel today announced the second phase of its $35 million renovation which is expected to be completed by September.

The investment is expected to cover renovations of 30 rooms including the club rooms, the presidential suite, the club lounge, and seven function rooms.

Low Keng Huat hospitality director Low Chin Han said Duxton Hotel has stood as a beacon of luxury over the past 27 years.

“With this latest renovation, we are not merely redesigning spaces; we are reimagining our legacy,” he said.

“We eagerly anticipate welcoming guests to experience these re-envisioned accommodations and to witness the evolution of our iconic property.”

The Duxton’s food and beverage spaces would also be renovated while $2 million will be poured into upgrading the hotel’s audio, visual and IT infrastructure.

In its statement, Duxton said the second stage of its multi-million-dollar renovation comes after earlier investments in infrastructure upgrades.

Duxton’s announcement follows the closure of another Singaporean-owned hotel in the city, the Hyatt Regency Perth.

Tuan Sing Holdings today announced its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary HR Operations has entered a deed of termination and release with Hyatt of Australia Limited and Hyatt Services Australia.

The hotel on 99 Adelaide Terrace will no longer bear the Hyatt name or operation by 11.59pm on August 31.
