The partnership between University Hall and Wonil Hotel Perth – Handwritten Collection epitomises a harmonious blend of education, community engagement, and sustainable hospitality. Nestled along the picturesque banks of the Swan River, adjacent to the University of Western Australia (UWA), Wonil Hotel stands as a beacon of connectivity and collaboration within this vibrant locale.
Derived from the Noongar word meaning 'Peppermint Tree', Wonil Hotel pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of the area, rooted in a deep appreciation for nature's bounty and indigenous wisdom. The peppermint trees that line the riverbanks not only lend their name to the hotel but also symbolise a legacy of healing, shelter, and communal gathering—a tradition upheld for generations.
In its essence, Wonil Hotel embodies a commitment to learning and community enrichment. Through sustainable practices and locally sourced initiatives, the hotel cultivates an environment where guests and locals alike converge to live, learn, work, and play. With multifunctional spaces and breathtaking outdoor vistas overlooking the Swan River, Wonil Hotel serves as a nexus for intellectual exchange and cultural immersion.
What sets Wonil Hotel apart is its distinctive operating model, wherein all profits are channelled towards supporting medical and scientific research at five esteemed universities in the vicinity. This innovative approach not only underscores the hotel's dedication to academic advancement but also underscores its integral role as a catalyst for social impact and philanthropy.
