Travelling offers the perfect chance to disconnect from the daily grind and focus on self-care. It allows you to slow down and immerse yourself in new experiences, whether that’s exploring a new city, enjoying nature, or simply taking the time to relax and rejuvenate.
Nestled in the heart of Northbridge, Western Australia, our boutique hotel offers the ideal blend of local food and cultural happenings of the district, whilst also offering you a quiet reprieve from the hustle and bustle.
To help you ensure your holiday to Perth is a rejuvenating getaway, we will provide you with a comprehensive holiday self-care checklist, including tips on how to exercise on holiday, and explore the self-care practices you can adopt during your trip.
Self care routines for your trip
Holidays are the ideal time to slow down and adopt new self-care practices. Here are some ideas for you to try during your stay with us:
- Mindfulness and relaxation techniques: Start your day with a yoga or meditation session to centre yourself. We love Blooming Happy Yoga, just a short stroll up William Street.
- Healthy eating habits: We offer complimentary healthy breakfast options for all guests at our hotel. You can also explore Northbridge’s vibrant food scene, which includes award-winning restaurants, casual dining options, cosy coffee shops and bustling bars.
- Digital detox essentials: Unwind without relying on screens. Enjoy time on our beautiful mezzanine, exploring our diverse selection of books, listening to our vintage record player and admiring the ever changing artwork.
- Adequate sleep and rest: Prioritise sleep by maintaining a bedtime routine. Our rooms are designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, with comfortable beds and high quality sustainable linen ensuring you get the rest you need.
Exercise
Staying active and maintaining fitness regimes while away on holiday or business is one of the best ways to look after yourself, both physically and mentally. At Alex Hotel, we’ve partnered with Chris Wilson PT to offer complimentary fitness classes for all guests, valued at $35 per session. These classes are designed to keep you fit and energised during your stay.
Northbridge boasts a variety of parks and urban pathways for outdoor exercise. Take advantage of our free bikes to explore the area. Here are a couple of suggested cycle routes:
- Northbridge to Kings Park: Enjoy a scenic ride through the city to the lush landscapes of Kings Park, one of the world’s largest inner-city parks with a breathtaking city view.
- Swan River Loop: Cycle along the picturesque Swan River, taking in stunning views and local wildlife.
