Australian Hotels Association (WA) CEO Bradley Woods said the state had been very well represented at the awards.
“WA’s winners beat a strong field of competitors from across Australia – these are the best venues in the country so for WA to be awarded with the best hotel and best restaurant is a very strong endorsement for the state,” Mr Woods said.
“In recent years there has been a variety of new hotels, restaurants and pubs either open or undergo significant redevelopments, which has resulted in the industry reaching new levels of excellence in terms of accommodation and food and beverage offerings.
“The quality of WA’s hotels and hospitality venues are unrivalled and provide visitors and locals with a range of affordable and quality options.”
