Hotel Rottnest
This fortlike property was once the official summer residence for the governors of Western Australia but today it's decked out with tables and bench seats as the island's social hub. Since the addition of the Samphire Rottnest resort, Hotel Rottnest no longer offers guest rooms, but it will live on as everyone's favorite pub and restaurant with epic views of Thomson Bay. Chef Quim Hernandez heads the kitchen team pumping out bistro-style meals as the bar keeps everyone watered with craft beers, cocktails, and wine.
