The Mayfair, Adelaide

The centrally located 5-star Mayfair is an ideal choice for the beginning or end of any spectacular Australian holiday. The delights start from its Romanesque façade, while inside, sweeping staircases lead to contemporary rooms in fresh shades of white and grey; the complimentary mini bar in each room a nice touch. Bathrooms are sprawling and modern, with high-end products and walk-in rain showers.

Come evening, The Mayfair's glamorous Hennessy rooftop bar is particularly special, with both outdoor and covered areas making it ideal for a drink with a view whatever the weather, enjoying the likes of specially-crafted cocktails and a fantastic wine list. It’s a perfect prelude to dinner at the opulent Mayflower restaurant, where luxe furnishings set the scene for meals served to the sounds of a resident pianist. Expect French flair with the likes of freshly-shucked oysters, dill-cured salmon and beef steak tartare. Their high tea is another popular option where guests can expect a decadent buffet alongside either champagne or cocktails, enjoying such delights as smoked salmon tartlets and buttermilk scones.

By day, you’re just a few moments from the Victoria Square, South Australian Museum, the historic buildings of North Terrace and the famous Rundle Mall. And don't miss a stroll to the Adelaide Central Market, the hub of the city's food and wine obsession, or head just beyond its outskirts for beautiful farmlands and villages of the Adelaide Hills and world-class wineries of the Barossa Valley.
