Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Rottnest

1 Bedford Ave., Rottnest Island, Western Australia, 6161, Australia

This blindingly white, fort-like property was once the official summer residence for the governors of Western Australia but today it's decked out in Astroturf and bench seats as the island's social hub. Tastefully renovated, pleasant, motel-style rooms overlook Thomson Bay or a courtyard area. The popular main bar is open all day and serves bistro-style meals with craft beers.
