This multimillion-dollar restoration is one of Western Australia’s best, highlighting what was once an 1890s flour mill in the country town of Katanning. With industrial exposed brick and sculptures paying homage to its past, the property designed by Fremantle architect Michael Patroni beckons travellers with its unique industrial charm and captivating legacy. Stepping into the Premier Mill Hotel is like stepping into a bygone era—a celebration of craftsmanship and heritage. 

From the moment you step inside the lobby of the Premier Mill Hotel, you are welcomed by walls radiating with warm, exposed brick that whisper the secrets of the mill workers from over a century ago. Creatively placed sculptures and contemporary art pieces add a modern twist while still honouring the building's rich past.

The boutique hotel is nothing short of a visual feast, where rustic elegance meets modern comfort. It's this seamless blend of the old and new that pulls travellers in from near and far. The hotel's unique flair for preserving history through industrial design does more than tell a story—it immerses you in one.

Each room is designed to complement the former life of the mill, with a strong emphasis on exposed brickwork and period-inspired fixtures. The high ceilings and large windows offer an abundance of natural light that gently highlights the room's craftsmanship.

The amenity-rich experience at the Premier Mill Hotel is indicative of an establishment that understands the desires of its guests. Each room has a large HDTV complete with screencast capability and on-demand movies for entertainment. The Bang & Olufsen sound system promises an immersive personal audio experience, echoing the property's industrial-chic vibe.

Not to be overshadowed by technological comforts, the hotel acknowledges the physical allure of luxury with king-sized beds adorned in premium heavy cotton sheets and oversized pillows, high plush cotton towelling, and premium bathroom products by Aesop.

The option for a late checkout (pending availability) speaks volumes about the hotel's commitment to tailor a stay as memorable for leisurely mornings as it does for evenings of exploration. 

It’s evident that every corner of the hotel is curated to showcase its heritage. Strolling through the corridors, the aroma of aged timber mingles with the hotel's signature scent, further enhancing the sensory experience of each guest. The original silos and machinery components are ingeniously integrated into the design, often functioning as unique decorative or structural elements.

A must-visit is the Cordinal Bar. Situated below street level, this wine bar becomes a vibrant gathering spot from 3pm onwards. The bar prides itself on offering a selection of the region's top wines and craft beers, creating the perfect social setting after a day of exploring the beauty of Katanning.

The local town of Katanning is home to a library and arts centre, a historical museum, Kobeelya House, and you can also find yellow and gold fields of Canola nearby.
