I recently had the pleasure of staying at while in the South Australian capital for AHICE. This excellent hotel is one of the cover stars of the Autumn 2024 issue of Spice magazine and was recently runner-up in the New-Build Hotel of the Year category at the 2024 Australasia-Pacific Hotel Design Awards. It boasts incredible contemporary architecture and is highly recommended for business and leisure travellers to Adelaide.
