Comparing pool atmosphere and features across Crown Towers, Metropol and Promenade to match your summer plans.
Planning a Hot-Weather Stay
A summer stay in Burswood works best when you align your schedule with the day's temperature curve. Perth experiences hot, dry summers, meaning the middle hours of the day are ideal for indoor venues, lunch reservations, or spending time at the pools. Mornings remain comfortable for exploring the Swan River foreshore before retiring to dining spaces like Atrium Buffet or Epicurean.

Event Nights and Pools
When major fixtures take place at Optus Stadium, pedestrian foot traffic across Burswood Park increases significantly. Timing your dinner around event crowds requires a small amount of forward planning, especially if you intend to visit casual dining spots or late-night venues like 42 by Don Julio inside TWR. For specific observations, read the bridge after the match and our general advice on stadium nights.
Pool layouts vary between the three hotel properties. Crown Towers features expansive lagoon pools, Crown Metropol offers a main pool, relaxation pool and child-friendly slides, while Crown Promenade provides a straightforward outdoor swimming pool.
