Adelaide Hotels with a bar

Glenelg Beach Hostel

A couple of streets back from the beach, this beaut old terrace (1879) is Adelaide's budget golden child. Fan-cooled rooms maintain period details and are bunk-free.

Stamford Grand Adelaide

The first Glenelg edifice to scrape the sky with any real authority, this plush, pink-hued hotel overlooks Gulf St Vincent. Dinner, bed and breakfast packages are decent value; good off-season rates.

Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide On Currie

The charming, red-brick Grand Chancellor is not your ordinary top-end hotel. It has chosen to forgo dull, international-brand modernism for some quietly stylish and surprisingly homely touches in the rooms and communal areas.

Majestic Roof Garden Hotel

Everything looks new in this place − a speck of dirt would feel lonely. Book a room facing Frome St for a balcony and the best views, or take a bottle of wine up to the rooftop garden to watch the sunset.

The Sebel Playford Adelaide

Be sure to check for special deals at this award-winning, five-star boutique hotel, which has opulent, luxurious rooms, an Art Nouveau feel, and it is right at home in this part of the city, opposite the Convention Centre and City Casino.

Inter Continental Adelaide

This luxurious five-star hotel is the only accommodation in Adelaide that has views straight out over the soporific Torrens River and the green tinge of parkland that surrounds it. Needless to say, a river-view room here is an absolute must.

Oaks Plaza Pier Glenelg

This ultra-modern waterfront complex offers one- and two-bedroom apartments facing Colley Reserve.

Rockford Adelaide

The Rockford is a handsome and very comfortable low-rise hotel in the northeast corner of the inner city, only a short walk from the attractive parkland flourishing on both sides of the Torrens River.

Mercure Grosvenor Hotel

This place was built in 1918, but there’s not much old-world vibe left inside – slick modern rooms and friendly staff compensate. Kids under 16 stay free.

Clarion Hotel Soho

Ooh-la-la! The slick new Clarion attempts to conjure up the vibe of London's Soho district, but it's far more sophisticated than anything on Old Compton St.

Annie's Place Adelaide

This is one of the most welcoming hostels we encountered in Adelaide. It's set up in an attractive sandstone building with 140 years of history behind it, and the owners use its old timber character and stained glass to warm, friendly effect.

Backpack Oz

It doesn't look like much externally, but this converted pub (the old Orient Hotel) strikes the right balance between party and placid.

Blue Galah Backpackers Hostel

A friendly, 140-bed hostel with an enormous balcony above King Willie St (perfect for the Oz boutique beers from the bar) and an environmental bent. Rooms have good security and excellent mattresses, but some are sans windows and a little squishy.

Adelaide's Shakespeare International Backpackers

Rambling through an old downtown pub (1879), laid-back Shakeys has friendly staff, a tour desk, a serious stainless-steel kitchen, free linen and a balcony over the street (look down on the suits and count your blessings).
