Opened in 2021, Sofitel Adelaide confidently delivers the five-star luxury expected of an international hotel brand while also tapping into a distinctly Adelaidean feel via local art, quirky décor and lighting details, and food and drinks championing South Australian producers, winemakers and distillers.
The rooms
The 251 rooms and suites over 24 floors have superb views of Adelaide’s garden-ringed CBD out to the hills and the coast. A luxe, neutral palette of white, grey and dark timber is textured by French-accented details like framed mirrors and antique-style timber furniture pieces. Bathrooms are spacious and marble-clad, many featuring free-standing tubs.
Food & drink
Those after some bustle should opt for street-level Déjà Vu that morphs from café to champagne bar when evening comes. French-accented cocktails and local and international wine and spirits can be had at Level 9’s Garçon Bleu Bar that adjoins the signature Garçon Bleu restaurant, focused on French gastronomy and local ingredients. Minibars also highlight locally produced snacks and booze.
The service
A smooth and efficient team delivers an excellent balance of professional and friendly service at Sofitel Adelaide.
Ideal for: Luxury travellers who prefer to be in the thick of things
Why we love it:
- The pool. Set on the fifth level and decked out in marble and chandeliers.
- The location. All the city’s highlights are within easy walking distance.
- The art. An impressive collection from local makers.
