Located on Bannister Street in the heart of historic Fremantle, the Hougoumont Hotel is a boutique property that seamlessly blends rich local history with modern design. Named after the last vessel to transport convicts to Western Australia, the hotel fuses a heritage 1901 facade—originally the Duke of York Hotel—with innovative, upcycled shipping container architecture. Its compact, cabin-style guest rooms draw inspiration from luxury ship staterooms, featuring sleek, minimalist interiors and premium amenities like Nespresso machines and Appelles toiletries. Guests can enjoy a communal lounge, complimentary evening drinks and nibbles, and the on-site Calamity’s Rod nano-brewery and courtyard, all situated just steps away from Fremantle’s famous cappuccino strip and local markets.
Located directly across the street from its sister property at 22 Bannister Street, New Haus Managed by Hougoumont serves as a modern, spacious alternative to the original boutique hotel. Operating as the “younger brother” property, it trades the compact shipping container rooms for larger, traditionally styled hotel accommodation, including superior suites and studio options featuring handy kitchenettes that suit longer stays. Guests check in across the road at the main Hougoumont desk and enjoy shared access to all standard perks, including complimentary light continental breakfast, evening wine and cheese, bike rentals, and an on-site spin class studio space.
