Perth Lifestyle Updates: A Practical Guide for Residents Ready to Explore and Enjoy This
New hospitality and retail arrivals give locals concrete dates and locations to plan visits around Perth.
How we reported this

Perth's hotel scene is upgrading in 2026 with the cult chain HYDE arriving at Pier Street. This addition supplies residents with another accommodation choice in the city centre when they want to explore overnight stays close to existing venues.
The timing of these openings matters now because several retail and hospitality projects have set specific launch dates in the second half of the year. Locals can use the dates to organise outings without relying on events that did not proceed.
New Hotel Arrival on Pier Street
HYDE is scheduled to open on Pier Street during 2026. Residents considering a short break or hosting visitors can add this address to their list of options for central stays. The location places guests near established routes through the city for easy movement between different neighbourhoods.
Riverside Brewery Venue
Little Creatures brewery is opening a new riverside venue at Elizabeth Quay on November 25. The date allows residents to mark their calendars and plan an afternoon or evening visit once the doors open. The Elizabeth Quay setting offers direct access to the waterfront for those already using the area for walks or other activities.
First Victoria's Secret in Perth
Victoria's Secret has opened its first Perth store, marking the brand's entry into WA. Shoppers now have a local point of access rather than ordering from interstate. The store adds another retail stop for residents combining errands with a visit to nearby city amenities.
Bath & Body Works Opening
Bath & Body Works will open its first Western Australian branch at Carousel shopping centre on December 15. Residents in the eastern suburbs can include the centre in their December plans once the store begins trading. The opening supplies a new option for personal care products without leaving the metropolitan area.
Sculpture by the Sea 2025 exhibition in Perth was cancelled due to a lack of federal funding. With that event no longer available, the scheduled retail and brewery openings provide alternative dates for residents to enjoy public spaces and new outlets. Locals can check the individual venues closer to the November 25 and December 15 dates for any updates on operating hours or access details.
