Market snapshot
Buying a hotel or motel in Perth, WA, starts with whether you buy the freehold or just the business. Buyers usually ask about room numbers, average occupancy and room rates across the year, how much income comes from the bar, bistro and bottle shop, and whether corporate, contractor or tourist guests fill the rooms. Pubs with accommodation in the Perth Hills and Swan Valley trade on weekends and tourism, while motels near highways and industrial areas lean on tradies, contractors and mining crews travelling through. A hotel liquor licence needs approval to transfer, and building condition and compliance can be costly. There is currently 1 hotel or motel listed in Perth on this hub.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a hotel or motel cost in Perth?
Hotel and motel prices in Perth depend mostly on freehold versus leasehold, net profit, rooms and occupancy, and building condition. A freehold pub with land is priced very differently from a motel lease. Compare asking prices on live Business For Sale listings and get a valuation and a building inspection before you commit.
Can I buy a hotel or motel in Perth without a broker?
Yes. Business For Sale lists private owners next to broker listings for Perth hotels and motels, and you can enquire free on both. Some owners sell direct to a local operator. Sign the confidentiality agreement, ask for occupancy and department figures, and use a lawyer who knows liquor licensing and property.
What should I check before buying a hotel or motel?
Check occupancy and room rates by month, revenue by department, wages and maintenance costs. Inspect the building, fire safety and pool or plant, and ask for compliance reports. For pubs, review the hotel licence and its conditions. For leasehold motels, check the lease term, rent reviews and who pays for repairs.
How do I get alerts for new hotels and motels in Perth?
Create a free buyer account on Business For Sale, save a search for hotels and motels in Perth and turn alerts on. You can narrow it by price or by freehold only. Matching listings are emailed when they go live, which matters because good accommodation sites in Perth do not come up often.
