Public Ratings and Editor Verdicts for Crown Perth Hotels
When planning a summer stay along the Swan River, clear guest rating scores can be surprisingly hard to pin down on official channels. Crown Perth does not publish third-party star ratings or aggregated review scores on its official website. Below is an honest breakdown of how each property compares based on published facilities, room tiers, and hot-weather suitability.

Why You Will Not See Star Ratings on Official Pages
If you search the official resort web pages at crownperth.com.au, you will not find a star rating or guest review score next to the room listings. The resort does not publish aggregate scores from review platforms on its main site. To give you a realistic picture before you submit a stay request, we evaluate the complex using published amenities, venue access, and structural differences across the three properties.
Our assessment focuses on practical summer details: which hotel gives you immediate access to lagoon swimming, where you can secure a balcony for evening river breeze, and how dining options sit relative to your lobby. You can read more about our independent editorial approach on our about page and discover how this site earns through referral requests.
Crown Towers Perth: Editor Verdict
Crown Towers sits at the top of the resort tier. Opened in December 2016, secondary source listings cite 500 rooms, bringing substantial guest capacity to the Burswood foreshore. The stay experience is built around sprawling leisure facilities, centered on expansive outdoor lagoon pools and the dedicated Crown Spa Perth with its Aqua Retreat vitality pool and sauna spaces.
Best for: Travellers prioritizing pool space, quiet luxury, and direct access to high-end dining such as Epicurean buffet breakfast or late-night drinks inside TWR at 42 by Don Julio.
Summer advantages: Guests staying here enjoy seamless access to the lagoon pool deck and the 15th-floor Crystal Club, which features an open terrace with views toward the Swan River. Check-in starts from 3:00 pm and check-out is at 11:00 am. If you want to spend the hottest afternoon hours in air-conditioned comfort, the rooms—ranging from Deluxe King layouts up to Premier Club View Suites—offer generous indoor square footage.

Crown Metropol Perth: Editor Verdict
Crown Metropol occupies the central resort position, originally opening in 1987 as the Burswood Island Hotel before undergoing major rebranding. Wikipedia lists the room count at 405 rooms, though official channels focus on room categories rather than total figures. The property is currently undergoing a lobby revitalisation designed to create a vibrant lounge space.
Best for: Families and groups who want energetic pool days and immediate access to classic dining hubs like Atrium Buffet and Nobu.
Summer advantages: Metropol features a resort pool deck that includes a main pool, a relaxation pool, and a family area equipped with waterslides. It also houses The Kids Hub indoor play space for children aged 12 and under. During peak January and February heat, having family pool facilities right outside your block makes managing mid-day heat easier. Compare pool rules and features on our pools comparison page.
Crown Promenade Perth: Editor Verdict
Crown Promenade offers a streamlined, practical base within the complex. Secondary sources list 291 rooms (originally opening as a Holiday Inn in 2005). While it lacks the large multi-pool layouts of Towers or Metropol, it features its own outdoor swimming pool, a well-equipped fitness centre, and a functional business setup.
Best for: Eventgoers, short summer stopovers, and visitors attending matches across the footbridge who want a comfortable, reliable room near the Burswood bus and train connections.
Summer advantages: Promenade includes Superior King Balcony Rooms, giving you private outdoor space to catch evening breezes coming off the water after sunset. It is situated moments from casual dining options like Junction Grill and the broad selection at the Urban Food District.
