TCWA Welcomes New Partnership with Hyatt Regency Perth

Tourism Council WA are very happy to welcome Hyatt Regency Perth as a new Gold Partner. 

Hyatt Regency Perth offers all the facilities and service expected of a luxurious internationally renowned five-star hotel. They are currently undergoing a guestrooms’ interior redesign which is scheduled for completion by September 2010. The exclusive Regency Club® levels on the top two floors of the hotel will undergo a full new fit-out of guestrooms and bathrooms. The design concept is contemporary and provides guests with a residential and relaxed feel, using calm colours and textural contrasts in materials.

Hyatt General Manager Adam Myott says "the Hyatt looks forward to working more closely with the Tourism Council of Western Australia which does a wonderful job at promoting the tourism industry in this state". 

Why not join TCWA at our next function "Breakfast with the Minister" at the Hyatt in September!
