Perth - Palace Hotel

The former Palace Hotel (1895) was a grand hotel of gold boom days and is now, after thorough restoration, part of the Rural and Industries Bank of Western Australia.

Beyond the Palace Hotel is the bank's modern headquarters, Perth's newest high-rise block, considerably overtopping the older skyscraper of the AMP insurance corporation on the opposite side of the intersection. From the roof terrace of the AMP building there are good views of Perth and its suburbs, extending to the ocean in the west and the Darling Range in the east.
