The Crowne Plaza Perth is a popular leisure and business travel hotel destination. The building has been welcoming visitors for a long time, since 1962! 

The front tower of the Hotel was built in 1962 with 7 floors being added in the late 60’s. In 1983 there was a further small extension and in 1997 the rear tower was built. We underwent a soft refurbishment in 2007 along with essential repairs as needed such as chiller replacement in 2019, and lift replacements in 2023.

A day in the life of a Maintenance Manager varies greatly- you could be fixing a leak one minute, and arranging a renovation project the next. We do anticipate to undergo major renovations in the foreseeable future.
