On Friday, 24 August, TIME Magazine (TIME) announced its first annual list of the ‘World’s Greatest Places’, to highlight 100 destinations breaking new ground, leading industry trends, and offering visitors an extraordinary experience.

To create the list, TIME solicited nominations across a variety of categories – including museums, parks, restaurants and hotels – from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, as well as dozens of industry experts. TIMEevaluated each one based on several key factors, including quality, originality, innovation, sustainability and influence. The result is a list as diverse as the world it reflects, with entries spanning six continents and 48 countries.

Tribe Perth, the first hotel by Australia’s Tribe Hotel Group (Tribe), was one of only three Australian entries and featured in the ‘To Stay’ section, which also included Jackalope (Merricks North) and The Collectionist (Sydney).

Tribe founders, Mark and Melissa Peters said, “We’re incredibly proud Tribe Perth has been listed by TIME as one of the World’s Greatest Places in 2018. Being recognised for our commitment to redefine affordable luxury via our approach to build and design is humbling, especially so from such a prestigious publication.”

As Australia’s first integrated modular design hotel, Tribe sets itself apart from traditional accommodation by using a contemporary modular design and construction method, comprised of pre-fabricated guest rooms with sophisticated essentials for the modern traveller.

Tribe is focused on giving guests everything they need and nothing they don’t, in a space that is intelligent and sophisticated with high-end design. In its first hotel, the group has delivered a nine-storey 126-room hotel in West Perth, with views of Kings Park and striking interiors by award-winning Australian architect and interior designer Travis Walton.

Its luxurious and contemporary living areas are part collaborative workspace, part social club featuring break out spaces, lounges, an outdoor courtyard and Tribe Foods.  While highly functional rooms feature custom designed bed bases that allow for ‘out of the way storage’, rain showers and Kevin Murphy shower products, alongside smart TVs, Bluetooth digital radios and alarm clocks, a digital reading collection and free movies on demand.

Created with an international cast of business travellers and urban explorers in mind, Tribe is set to expand in the near future, with new hotels planned in Adelaide and Melbourne.
