- Perth CBD hotel to close on August 31
The Hyatt Regency Perth is closing its doors after 36 years, having housed stars including Justin Bieber and Britney Spears.
The hotel in Adelaide Terrace, in the city’s CBD, will officially close on August 31, after Singapore-based owner Tuan Sing Holdings Limited announced it would terminate its contract with the US hotel company.
The hotel and Tuan Sing said they will contact guests who have made future bookings and will also try to redeploy staff.
Tuan Sing said the decision was taken “as part of the long-term strategy” and that after the hotel closes its doors it will “undergo a new positioning and name change”.

“We are deeply saddened that Hyatt Regency Perth will cease to exist, but we are grateful that we have had the privilege of serving and caring for everyone who has passed through this hotel,” said Thiva Kesavan, General Manager of Hyatt Regency Perth.
“As we move through this challenging time, our thoughts are with everyone affected by the hotel closure and we are committed to providing them with the support they need.”
The Hyatt Regency Perth will continue to welcome guests until the closure.
