Beneath the soaring archways of the iconic State Buildings, new life is being breathed into a collection of iconic heritage buildings that will revive the civic heart of Perth.
The former government buildings have been reimagined, re-invigorated and returned as a vibrant hub of retail, dining and hotel offerings.
The three interconnected heritage buildings known as the State Buildings sit on the corner of St Georges Terrace and Barrack Street in the centre of Perth. Over their 140-year history, they’ve been used as Public Offices, a Police Court and cell block, a Treasury, a Survey Department, a General Post Office, Immigration Offices, Office of the Premier and Cabinet, a Lands Department and Titles Building – but have been empty and unused since the government vacated the buildings twenty years ago.
The centrepiece of the historic Cathedral Square precinct, the State Buildings will become the heartbeat of a new urban neighbourhood, connecting pedestrians with the drinking, dining and retail offerings inside. The buildings will house outstanding craftsmen, artisans and makers, passionate about their products and fiercely proud of their West Australian heritage.

One of the major reasons for choosing COMO The Treasury as my accommodation is that I was deeply attracted by the architectural design of the States Building, one of the most iconic heritage buildings in the civic heart of Perth. The three heritage buildings are interconnected and they sit on the corner of St Georges Terrace and Barrack Street in the centre of Perth. As the heartbeat of a new urban neighbourhood, the State Buildings is a hub of hospitality, retail, wellness and luxury accommodation. I have uploaded photos of different parts in the State Buildings with a short description of their nature: ✨ Post, Cape Arid Rooms, Telegram Coffee, Edicole ✨ Petition, Beer Corner, Wine Merchant, Long Chim, Shop 1875, Fox & Rabbit Flowers ✨ Entry from St George Street: Teassential, Ugly Men’s Association ✨ Entry from Cathedral Avenue: Como Shambhala, Como The Treasury Enjoy your time here! It is definitely worth a stop: Lots of spots for Instagrammable shots 📸

Absolutely fabulous stay at the Como Treasury and dinner at Wildflower. Staff were so very kind and caring. Our room was beautifully appointed and dinner amazing. Very very talented chefs with amazing presentation skills where everything was perfect Great service especially Bethany who was an absolute joy. Probably one of the best meals we have had and so wonderfully accommodating Will definitely be back again.

Beautifully kept heritage buildings, we went there for the first time last night for a dinner at one of the restaurants, Long Chim and it was wonderful being in the lower level wondering what this area was used for in the old days. We're looking forward to coming back next time we're in Perth and checking out more of the shops, cafes, wineries, and restaurants. Beautiful architecture and well worth a visit just to view that. Give it a try. Highly recommended 👌

Beautiful buildings that were built in the 1800's but were then restored and opened to the public in 2015. They now house an upmarket bar, cafe, coffee shops, restaurants, wine bar and luxury hotel.
