Once home to the warders of Fremantle Prison, the Warders Cottages are a significant landmark where history and contemporary hospitality meet. Built in 1852, the original limestone cottages have been carefully restored and reimagined, blending the character of colonial heritage architecture with modern comforts and refined design.
The Warders Cottages are now home to a collection of luxurious rooms and suites for leisure and business travellers. The award-winning hotel features original timber and stonework, contemporary finishes and artwork by Tessa MacKay that captures scenes and portraits from the port city’s rich history.
