Warders Hotel

The Wardes Hotel is a small boutique hotel in the old limestone cottages that were once the Fremantle Warders’ homes. The cottages offer a little pocket of calm among the vibrant heart of Fremantle with exceptional character, overlaid with refined modern detail.

Choice of accommodation includes the Terrace Rooms (set on the upper level) and Terrace Cottages – both are air conditioned and have a King size bed.

The Warders’ Cottages Block 1 were built in 1851 and were used as accommodation for the Warders of the nearby Fremantle Prison. This period is of high cultural and historic significance to the City, State and Nation and is preserved through the careful restoration and interpretation of this national heritage asset. Preservation policies of the Convict Establishment Precinct allowed for additional diversity and public interaction, and from this the Warders Hotel project was born.

History of the site is scattered around the site on plaques and historic signage. More information about Fremantle’s Prison History can be found at the Fremantle Prison Museum.
