Adelaide Oval welcomes a boutique hotel

Oval Hotel, Adelaide, is Australia’s first stadium hotel and one of only a handful of hotels in the world aligned to a sporting stadium.

The luxury boutique hotel offers 138 rooms, spanning two wings that integrate seamlessly with the existing stadium. Wrapping around the eastern facade of Adelaide Oval, each room overlooks the surrounding parklands and is designed to bring these picturesque views into the rooms.

Surprising touches like a Tiffany-inspired minibar and automatic curtains upon room entry hint of a pleasantly unordinary stay.

The hotel is independently designed by South Australian firm Cox Architecture, which also led the Adelaide Oval stadium redevelopment and designed the hotel as a natural extension. The interiors are by Carr, featuring natural textures and enveloping furnishings for a feel of understated luxury.

On the ground floor, the Bespoke Wine Bar & Kitchen features a 2,000 bottle wine wall that stocks wine from across Australia, as well as international selections.

Connected to the hotel is the Adelaide Oval, South Australia’s 50,000 seat home for major cultural and sporting events, as well as the state’s main meetings and events offering. This includes 24 dedicated function spaces for anywhere between 10 and 2,000 delegates, with a variety of options from unique outdoor terraces to intimate meeting rooms overlooking the hallowed turf.
