A long way off but good to have at least 1 property in SA.

hmm... not quite sure about the location choice though, pretty dead part of town.

It'd only be a 5 minute walk or so to the market, so not that bad. Nice to see an SPG hotel in Adelaide finally.

Agreed. Still think they could've picked a much better location.. Even though it's close to the markets it's on the wrong side.. The Mayfair really snagged prime real estate

Oh so that's what they are building there.

I don't think that the location is right either but there is a free tram to get guests to the mall and other entertainment districts.

Will be interesting to see how they do!

Good luck to them.

I like aLoft hotels; its kind of the poor kids version of the W. The location is a bit far but given I stay at the Hilton anyway, it's relatively not that bad so to speak.

Good to see SPG keep expanding in Australia.

It's easy to understand why the location seems questionable. If this were to be an upmarket hotel such Sofitel (proposed for Currie St), Westin, Sheraton etc, the location wouldn't suit very well at all. Aloft seems to target a different demographic and this part of the city is under a huge transformation and lots of new developments planned or due to start construction soon.
The site is already under construction with stage 1 of the New Mayfield development.

I have left a few more I know of that are either under construction, approved or proposed.

The purpose of this post is many people are not aware of what is happening in Adelaide. A lot is changing in the south and the west sides of the city and in many ways, the west and the south ends of the city is a blank canvas for the future.

I see this hotel as a perfect fit for the area, funky, edgy and modern without being mainstream...

Exciting times.

Sorry if I have gotten carried away guys..
