Songbird Bar & Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton Perth

At the water’s edge of the Swan River, Songbird Bar & Restaurant translates the Ritz-Carlton’s luxury brand, the history of its landscape, and the relaxed elegance of Perth’s laid-back lifestyle into signature experience at the podium of the Ritz-Carlton hotel.

Activating a rooftop space at Level of Perth’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel is Songbird Bar and Restaurant. As a haven for a seasonal menu, skilfully created cocktails and panoramic views, the restaurant is a playground for hotel guests and visitors, establishing itself as one of Perth’s iconic destinations. Resonating its rooftop location, the concept for Songbird is inspired from the migrating bird species from Australia, with notions of travel and habitat anchoring the conceptual brief.

Intimate and curated drinking and dining connecting to a shared environment.

The carefully choreographed indoor and outdoor moments delivered through the base building architecture ensure that Songbird embraces the opportunity for multiple curated experiences. The rooftop is divided into several terraces for private parties, with a stepped layout preventing foreshortening of quayside views. The indoor bar takes advantage of commanding views over Elizabeth Quay, the outdoor fire pit is lit, and the layout encourages guests to perch around the rooftop gardens and pool to enjoy the twilight. Each space is experienced as an intimate dining experience connected to a shared environment.

Characterised by a combination of polished stainless steel, soft blues, coastal greys, and gold finishes, the interior creates a fresh and bright space during the day and transforms into a vibrant electric space at night. Gold metal feature ceiling details deliver on the circular motifs, creating tight arrangements that play with intimate, loose furniture settings.

Lighting is central to the experience, complementing the soft furnishings and delivers a dramatic energy to the space with an electric blue palette. Transparent screening ensures that all patrons have view lines to the external environment, maintaining the connection to the original concept of habitat and landscape.
