TFE Hotels are set to pour investment into a new contemporary West Australian redesign for its apartment-style Adina Perth.

The hotel will be operational throughout the rolling refurbishment taking place between May to October, which is expected to reposition the hotel to the group’s evolving design philosophy to meet modern expectations. 

Refurbishment will be delivered in stages, floor by floor, from mid-May to mid-October 2026, with the lobby transformation scheduled for late September through October. 

TFE Hotels Group Chief Operating Officer Chris Sedgwick said the refurbishment is expected to cater to a broad mix of travellers, but with Adina’s apartment-style flexibility, will appeal to corporate and MICE markets.

“Adina Perth on Mounts Bay Road is exceptionally well positioned for the corporate market, sitting directly beside the Perth Convention And Exhibition Centre (PCEC) and a stone’s throw from Perth’s key office precincts along St Georges Terrace,” Sedgwick said.

“The apartment‑style layout, onsite meeting facilities and easy access to major corporate headquarters make this hotel an ideal base for business travellers and conference delegates.”

“We’ve created welcoming public spaces where guests can comfortably pause for a quick meeting or conversation,” he said. “At the same time, our apartment‑style rooms give travellers the flexibility to open their laptop or easily separate work from downtime during extended business stays.”

Melbourne‑based interior design specialists Studio del Castillo, led by Penny del Castillo, will spearhead the redesign, drawing inspiration from Perth’s immediate surroundings and the broader landscapes of Western Australia.

“When we first started on this project, the hotel didn’t immediately connect to the beauty of Perth or to Western Australia,” del Castillo explains. 

“After spending time immersed in the state and nearby neighbourhoods, our design direction crystallised around a core Western Australian reference point – opal – using its distinctive green as the foundation for the palette.”

The refreshed design will start with the Adina Perth lobby, which is expected to showcase a sculptural stone reception desk, breezeblock detailing, stone finishes, and a restrained palette of whites, timber, and soft metallic accents.

“Lobby carpets mirror the winding form of the Swan River, while the timber aesthetics on walls and floors nods to the surrounding wharf sheds – design choices that introduce warmth in a light, uplifting way,” del Castillo said.

Guestrooms adopt the same West Australian narrative, with arched green headboards referencing opal hues, subtly patterned carpets in a complementary palette, and curved detailing across mirrors, artwork, ottomans, and furnishings, the group stated.

“Curtains are the hero element in every room – richly patterned with a subtle retro influence – complemented by understated carpets, new furniture and carefully considered layouts that balance comfort, functionality and visual interest for longer‑stay guests,” del Castillo said.
