On Weld Street a short walk from town and Roebuck Bay, the Conti counts as one of Broome's oldest hotels, its heritage character carried through into contemporary tropical-style rooms. Nine room types range across garden, park and poolside outlooks, with several outdoor pools set among palms. Dining runs from the casual Conti Bar & Bistro to the hardwood-fired kitchen at Papá Fuego. Matso's Brewery is within walking distance. It suits travellers wanting a characterful base in the centre of Broome.
