SilverNeedle Group is set to open a new Sage Hotel in Perth in May 2016, in partnership with local Perth private property development and investment group Australian Development Capital (ADC). Perched on the corner of Ventnor Avenue and Hay Street, Sage Hotel West Perth will offer business travellers an upscale accommodation in Western Australia.

The 1902 historical Walsh Family residence will be the centre piece of the development after being transformed.  For many years it has housed Julio’s restaurant, famed for its rich and famous clientele from global music performers to business identities. In keeping with SilverNeedle’s commitment to environmentally sustainable practices, Julio’s will feature restored original balustrade, Jarrah floorboards and heritage fireplaces, dating back to early last century.

Sage Hotel West Perth will offer 101 guest rooms with 24-hour room service, and multiple meeting spaces. The new hotel will also provide high speed wifi across all rooms and public areas, catering to the needs of today’s leisure and business travellers.

“Both Australian Development Capital and the SilverNeedle team had the vision of creating a modern hotel that will incorporate elements of the heritage building to provide a unique accommodation offering for the inner city market,” says Cameron Stewart, managing director of SilverNeedle Group. “We saw this as a great opportunity in West Perth. Ultimately, Sage will be our strongest growth brand in the upscale hotel segment over time.” www.hickory.com.au
