Guests at Largs Pier Hotel can enjoy stylish accommodation in a heritage-listed building. This waterfront property is 15 minutes’ walk from Semaphore Beach and features an on-site restaurant. Some rooms offer a balcony and sea views.

Wonderful hotel. The view was great from one of the heritage hotel rooms. The room itself felt huge (high ceilings) and the bed was comfortable. The bar/bistro was great so we ate there for 3 meals. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Located in the heart of Adelaide and overlooking Rundle Mall, the luxurious Mayfair Hotel offers free WiFi, a restaurant and lounge bar. All rooms offer stylish décor and a 55-inch flat-screen TV. Guests enjoy an onsite fitness centre.

Fabulous location which meant we could walk everywhere, warm welcoming yet professional staff and lovely extra touches like staff hitting the button for the lift whenever we entered the foyer. We also appreciated the gift of wine and chocolates in recognition of our birthdays (our stay in Adelaide was to celebrate two significant birthdays). We will definitely be back.

    Very clean and comfortable king room 1601. All rooms on all floors on this side of the building would have great unobstructed views of the Adelaide hills. Breakfast in the hotel cafe/restaurant was fantastic al a cart. The eggs Benedict the best ever! This hotel is petite, and compliments to the chef, owners/interior designer as attention to detail is 10/10. The only feedback is that the modern bathroom is very awkward in its design. A fantastic boutique hotel worth visiting for pleasure and especially business travellers.

    Incredible and comprehensive renovations throughout! Actually blown away by how beautiful and cohesive the design is, from bistro, to bathrooms, and into the rooms themselves. Stunning! The windows open, and let in a lovely breeze. Bathroom layout is second-to-none, I have stayed in 30+ hotels this year and this one takes the cake Also Tim Tams and T2 Teas 😗👌
