THE developer of a planned hotel at Perth's Barrack Square remains confident it will go ahead despite the council recommending it for refusal.
The council said the hotel would overshadow the Bell Tower, and it had also considered intended building heights within the nearby Elizabeth Quay waterfront development.
"While accepting that Perth needs more hotels, the council believes the scale of the proposed development, on that site, is not appropriate," Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi said.
The site is under the control of the state government, so the council can only make a recommendation.
It will refer the application to the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority and the Swan River Trust with a recommendation for refusal.
But developer Bill Richardson says he's confident it will still go ahead.
