About The National Hotel

Take the lift straight up to the open-air rooftop for sunset cocktails and panoramic views across Fremantle's historic streets to the ocean. Across four restored heritage levels, this High Street landmark balances multiple vibes under one roof—from a ground-floor tap bar rocking live music to first-floor balcony dining. Up top, regulars settle in over cold local craft beers, cocktails, and hearty chicken parmis while the coast catches the evening glow.

  • Rooftop cocktail deck: High-elevation open terrace with sunset views over Fremantle and the water, served by a dedicated bar and lift access.
  • Live music line-up: Ground-floor pub hosting regular evening line-ups of local bands and musicians across diverse genres.
  • Restored heritage rooms: Boutique hotel suites with restored heritage details, deep bathtubs, and wrap-around street-view balconies.

  • Vibrant Live Music Program and Pub Atmosphere

    The ground-floor pub hosts a regular lineup of live bands and musicians that draw welcoming, high-energy crowds spanning all ages and generations.

    The regular live music line up in the evenings, of top quality local and national musicians is a massive draw card.

Before you head over

Practical tips on rooftop timing, accessibility, and parking to make the most of your visit

  • Arrive Right at Midday for Rooftop Seats

    Head up right as the rooftop opens at 12:00 PM if you want to secure comfortable seating with prime views across the town and coast before prime tables fill up.

  • Use the Lift for Rooftop Access

    If you find stairs challenging or have luggage, take the interior lift directly from the ground floor up to the 4th-floor open-air rooftop bar.

  • Park at Nearby Collie Street Lot

    Hotel parking is located off-site in the nearby Collie Street car park for an overnight fee, so plan a brief walk when dropping off luggage.
