I don't think you can go wrong with room selection. I can't remember what room category I had (I had a FHR upgrade) but it was enormous and beautifully appointed, with a lovely view of the Cathedral across the square.
It's said if you like Aman you'll like this hotel (for obvious reasons). The finishes and overall restoration of the historic building complex are gorgeous but in many ways it is the smallest details that set this hotel apart and make it my current favorite city hotel in Australia. From the variety of delightful relaxation spaces to the freshly bottled milk with a hand-written use-by date in the minibar, the hotel has carefully thought through all aspects of guests' experience. There are several other dining and drinking establishments in the restored building complex as well, all of which are patronized by locals (always a good sign in an Australian hotel) and worth exploring.
Crown Towers Perth has also just opened, another addition to the casino precinct (if you like that sort of thing). It wouldn't be my choice, but it does provide another luxury option in the Perth market (so that makes two!).
