The hotel’s arrival promises to elevate Adelaide’s status as a must-visit destination, catering to both domestic and international travellers.
The hotel effortlessly merges Adelaide’s storied past with modern sophistication. The transformation of the GPO building, a beloved city landmark for more than 150 years, showcases a delicate balance of old and new.
From its classical architecture to its thoughtfully designed interiors, the hotel nods to the city’s rich cultural and historical tapestry, with design elements reflecting South Australia’s famed wine regions and the pioneering spirit of Sir Charles Todd.
Adelaide Marriott Hotel offers a variety of luxurious spaces, from its opulent ballroom to its vibrant Penny Blue restaurant and contemporary laneway bar, Exchange Lane. This new haven in the heart of the city promises not only an exceptional stay but also a dynamic experience for both travellers and locals alike. Whether it’s business or leisure, the Adelaide Marriott is set to become a key player in the city’s hospitality landscape.
A dynamic blend of past and present
Upon entering the hotel, guests are greeted by a breathtaking lobby (pictured at top) that sets the tone for the experience ahead. Throughout the property, the old meets the new: polished brass accents and sleek modern furniture complement the preserved sandstone façade and archival photographs that reflect the building’s deep connection to Adelaide’s heritage.
The hotel offers an extensive range of facilities, including an 18-metre indoor swimming pool, a fitness studio, and over 762 square metres of meeting and event space, highlighted by a grand 295-square-metre ballroom. For business travellers and Marriott Bonvoy Elite members, the exclusive M Club provides 24/7 access to a private lounge where guests can unwind or catch up on work in comfort.
But it’s not just about the interiors—the culinary offerings at the Adelaide Marriott Hotel are set to create a buzz in the local dining scene. With two unique dining venues, Penny Blue and Exchange Lane, both inspired by the building’s rich history, the hotel is set to become a favourite for both guests and locals.
Elevating Adelaide’s dining scene
Penny Blue, the hotel’s signature restaurant, is poised to make waves with its focus on modern Australian cuisine, delivered in an inviting and heritage-rich setting. Named after a rare stamp that once passed through the GPO, Penny Blue offers a dining experience where every dish is as carefully crafted as the history it celebrates. The 126-seat restaurant combines a warm, welcoming atmosphere with intimate and communal seating options, making it perfect for everything from romantic dinners to group gatherings.
Exchange Lane, meanwhile, is designed for all-day dining, transforming from a bustling café for morning commuters into a chic evening bar where guests can enjoy cocktails, wine, and shared plates. This blend of comfort, style, and innovation is what sets the Adelaide Marriott Hotel apart from other city venues.
With its prime location in the heart of the CBD, the hotel is a perfect launchpad for exploring Adelaide’s cultural and culinary offerings. Whether it’s catching a tram to Glenelg Beach, visiting nearby markets, or enjoying a show at Her Majesty’s Theatre, the Adelaide Marriott Hotel provides guests with easy access to everything the city has to offer.
