Front Office Manager (Full Time) Holiday Inn West Perth

West Perth is home to one of IHG’s fastest growing hotel brands — Holiday Inn. Perfectly positioned near Kings Park and Subiaco, our hotel offers a unique blend of local charm and global hospitality. As IHG’s first Perth property outside the CBD, Holiday Inn West Perth features 101 rooms and suites, a vibrant team culture, and a dedication to service that has recently earned us:

• Winner – 2024 AHA WA Mid-Range Accommodation Award
• Silver – 2025 WA Tourism Awards (4–4.5 Star Deluxe Accommodation)

At the heart of the hotel sits the beautifully restored Walsh Family residence, a 1902 heritage building that now houses our destination restaurant — Julio’s Italian Restaurant — as well as two character-filled boardrooms. Julio’s serves boutique coffee and à la carte breakfast daily, plus relaxed lunches and dinners featuring fresh pasta and classic Italian favourites.  www.julios.com.au
