Above The Clouds by St Nicholas

Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Above The Clouds by St Nicholas, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name — but wow, this four-star boutique property really does feel like you’re floating above everything. Tucked away on Livonia Place in Perth, it’s one of those places that manages to feel both intimate and sophisticated without trying too hard. The fact that there’s parking right on site is actually a huge win here — you know how tricky it can get finding a spot in this part of town.

Location & Neighborhood

What I love about this spot is how it sits in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough away to actually relax. The location consistently gets perfect scores from guests, and I can see why — you’re positioned really well for exploring Perth without dealing with the chaos of being right in the thick of things. I mean, couples absolutely rave about this place, and after spending time here, it makes total sense. There’s something about the setting that just works for romantic getaways.

The Room Experience

The room itself feels more like a carefully curated space than your typical hotel accommodation. Everything’s been thought through — from the way the light hits in the morning to the little touches that make you feel like someone actually cares about your stay. It’s not flashy or over-the-top, but there’s this attention to detail that you notice pretty quickly. The views (when you get a good one) really do live up to that “above the clouds” promise, especially if you’re here during one of Perth’s gorgeous sunsets.

What Sets It Apart

You know what really struck me? The staff here seem to genuinely get what makes a stay memorable. It’s not about having every possible amenity — it’s about doing the important things really well. The property has this boutique feel where they can actually pay attention to individual guests rather than just processing people through. Plus, that perfect 10 rating isn’t just a fluke — I’ve stayed at places with lower ratings that cost twice as much and delivered half the experience.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, this place works because it doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. Instead, it focuses on creating this refined, peaceful experience that couples especially seem to connect with. The combination of the thoughtful location, the genuine hospitality, and those little details that show someone’s actually paying attention — that’s what keeps people coming back. If you’re looking for a place in Perth that feels special without being pretentious, Above The Clouds delivers on that promise in a way that’s both surprising and completely satisfying.
