Five 5-star hotels in Adelaide – city or hills
Hotel Indigo Adelaide Markets starts at 160 €, Sequoia Lodge at 1,100 € – nearly seven times as much. In between stand Sofitel Adelaide at 192 € and Mount Lofty House Adelaide Hills at 224 €. Your travel advisor will give you the current price for The Playford Adelaide.
Hotel Indigo Adelaide Markets · City CentreTogether the best hotels in Adelaide offer 45 categories, sixteen of them suites.
Why we recommend it: Adelaide has more properties than the ones listed here. Our travel advisors picked five, and the selection answers a question this city really poses: stay down or drive up. The centre holds the markets, the galleries and North Terrace; up in the hills at Crafers, twenty minutes away, the Piccadilly Valley begins with its wineries. Both in one day works – but you sleep better where you want to spend the evening.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Sequoia Lodge and Mount Lofty House Adelaide Hills stand on the same estate at Mount Lofty. The Sequoia is the smaller, dearer half: fourteen suites, adults only, a member of Relais & Châteaux. If you want the view over the Piccadilly Valley but not the rate, take Mount Lofty House and walk over for dinner. And one point is rarely this clear: all five properties give a hotel credit of 100 US dollars.
Where to stay in Adelaide: the centre or the Adelaide Hills
The whole selection fits into 13 kilometres – but the road climbs, and that is the difference.
The Playford AdelaideIn the centre stand three. Hotel Indigo Adelaide Markets sits by the Central Market, Sofitel Adelaide in the business district and The Playford Adelaide on North Terrace, the street of museums and the university. From here you reach everything on foot.
In the Adelaide Hills at Crafers stand two: Mount Lofty House Adelaide Hills and Sequoia Lodge. Both belong to the same estate at Mount Lofty and look out over the Piccadilly Valley and its wineries.
Twenty minutes separate the two worlds. Dining in town in the evening, stay below; wanting to look at cloud over the valley in the morning, stay above.
45 categories: the best hotels in Adelaide from the inside
The best hotels in Adelaide offer 45 categories between them, sixteen of them suites.
Mount Lofty House Adelaide Hills · Mount LoftyThe largest belong to Sequoia Lodge: three Sequoia Suites with balcony at 75 sqm each, looking either to the mountains or across the valley. At Hotel Indigo Adelaide Markets follow a High Floor Suite and a Deluxe Suite with balcony at 52 sqm each, an Indigo Suite and a High Floor Room with balcony at 49 sqm each, and a Junior Suite with a city view at 43 sqm.
These are smaller figures than on many coasts in this guide – Adelaide is a city and wine region, not a resort coast, and the properties are built accordingly.
For The Playford Adelaide, the Sofitel Adelaide and the Mount Lofty House Adelaide Hills, your travel advisor will give you the measurements of the category you are weighing.
