Adelaide ’s new venue for conferences and events boasts some of the best views in town

Opening in April, the city’s newest upscale hotel, Crowne Plaza Adelaide is set to become Adelaide ’s ideal venue for events and conferences.

Located in the heart of the CBD on Hindmarsh Square , the hotel is the first newly built, internationally branded hotel to open its doors in South Australia in more than 20 years, and the 16th Crowne Plaza in Australia .

Crowne Plaza Adelaide has the capacity to welcome up to 400 guests in its top floor conference area, which features a pillar-less ballroom with pre-function area and balcony offering amazing views of the foothills and the city.

In addition, the top floor includes express elevators, registration area, and floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views. The ballroom can be divided into four rooms, and an Executive Boardroom with a balcony designed for around 10 people is available on the top floor for smaller meetings. 

Positioning itself as “The Place to Meet in Adelaide ”, the hotel offers Crowne Plaza ’s signature events programme, Meetings Success. Meetings Success offers a seamless approach to managing an event or conference, including personalised service from one Crowne Meetings Director during the whole experience.

 “We have been overwhelmed with the level of interest in the hotel for events and conferences and accommodation. With strong bookings already made months before our official opening, we are off to a great start and look forward to being the city’s premier venue for meetings and business travellers,” Crowne Plaza General Manager Brendom Meppen said.

Centrally located in the heart of the CBD on Hindmarsh Square, Crowne Plaza Adelaide is just metres from the city’s attractions, such as the shopping precinct of Rundle Mall, the restaurants and cafes of the east end of Adelaide, North Terrace, the Botanic Gardens, the Clipsal 500 race track and the Adelaide Zoo – making it the perfect venue for events and conferences.

The hotel features the most contemporary accommodation in Adelaide , with 308 rooms and suites on offer – many overlooking leafy Hindmarsh Square and offering views to the Adelaide Hills and the city.

All rooms offer LCD televisions, WIFI, walk-in showers and contemporary furnishings.  Leisure facilities include an indoor pool, fully equipped gymnasium, sauna, spa, steam room and business centre.

Crowne Plaza Adelaide also features the signature Redsalt Restaurant and Bar, which has a focus on South Australian food and wine in an alfresco dining setting, looking out over Hindmarsh Square .  The hotel has lured back to South Australia international chef Bradd Johns, who has returned home after a successful stint in the UK , where he most recently created dishes for the Royal Family.

Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts is a dynamic hotel brand, located in more than 50 countries around the world and offering premium accommodation, designed for the discerning business and leisure traveller.

Crowne Plaza also offers the world’s largest loyalty program – Priority Club Rewards, which offers great benefits to frequent travellers such as free hotel nights, frequent flyer points for more than 40 airlines worldwide, exclusive wines, store vouchers and other activities.
