The company has signed a new management agreement to run Alex Hotel and Shadow Wine Bar and Dining Room – a modern Italian restaurant – which continues EVT’s hotel expansion in Western Australia.
Alex Hotel features 74 guest bedrooms highlighting industrial quality craftmanship, cosy colour palettes, locally sourced amenities and hand-sculpted bathroom ceramics by artist Simone Nabhlz.
It also has a guest-exclusive mezzanine floor; flexible conference options, including a 16-person boardroom; a private rooftop terrace for sunset cocktails; and social spaces, including a book collection and in-house vinyl record player.
Shadow Wine Bar and Dining Room is hidden next door, on William Street, and is set behind a 1950s facade.
“We are excited to partner with Alex Hotel and Shadow Wine Bar, two iconic names in Perth’s hospitality landscape, and welcome them to the Independent Collection by EVT,” says Norman Arundel, EVT’s director of hotels and resorts.
“This appointment reflects EVT’s dedication to delivering exceptional and personalised guest experiences, driven by our flexible operational model and strong local presence.
“We look forward to enhancing the distinctive character of The Alex and the celebrated reputation of Shadow Wine Bar, further establishing EVT’s footprint across Perth.”
Cicero Management, owners of Alex Hotel – supported by advisors JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group – adds, “We are excited to welcome EVT to manage Alex Hotel. EVT’s track record of success and commitment to agile operations and local brands were key factors in our decision.
“We are confident EVT will honour the unique character of Alex Hotel, while elevating the overall guest experience and continuing the tradition of excellence at Shadow Wine Bar.”
