Whether travelling for business, celebrating an anniversary or booking a weekend escape, Sofitel Adelaide is the 5-star accommodation that ticks all the right boxes
If a relaxing stay in a luxurious hotel in the heart of Adelaide is what you crave, book yourself a room at the Sofitel Adelaide. Finalists in the Luxury Accommodation and Restaurant Accommodation Division categories at the 2025 AHA|SA Hotel Industry Awards for Excellence, Sofitel Adelaide is the definition of opulence and provides a premium space to reset, recharge and enjoy 5-star luxury.
Within striking distance of Adelaide’s main attractions, from the famous Rundle Mall shopping precinct and the Peel and Leigh Street restaurant and bar scene to world-class museums and galleries and the sporting mecca that is Adelaide Oval, the Sofitel Adelaide is the ideal spot for a central stay after a day exploring the wonders of our vibrant city.
Inspired by bespoke French architecture, the hotel’s décor merges vintage charm with contemporary flair, with artwork from global and South Australian artists lining the walls of the foyer. Famed local designer Carl Almeida is responsible for the hotel’s opulent aesthetic, having a hand in everything from the Italian marble floors to the premium leather featured throughout the guest lifts and gym.
Rising 24 floors above the Adelaide skyline, the Sofitel boasts 251 guest rooms and suites, each offering breathtaking views of the city, coast and majestic Adelaide Hills. All the rooms are warm and welcoming and continue the French colonial theme that runs through the hotel’s design. Unwind in style in rooms featuring the hotel’s signature Sofitel MY BED, Balmain Paris amenities, open-plan bathrooms and 24-hour in-room dining available for those late-night cravings.
Sofitel Fitness, found on levels 5 and 6, is the ultimate wellness centre. Here you’ll find a state-of-the-art Technogym, two saunas and an 18-metre heated indoor lap pool. There are also several dedicated event spaces and boardrooms, while the exclusive Club Millésime on level 10 is a sophisticated lounge for business or pleasure. Indulge in a complimentary breakfast while reading the paper, spend the afternoon snacking on savoury treats and tasty desserts or stop by for a cocktail after watching the sun set from the restaurant Garçon Bleu. The Déjà Vu Champagne Bar, located on the ground floor, also makes for a great place to start your evening with a cold one or a nightcap before turning in.

Adelaide is home to some of the best restaurants in the country, including Sofitel’s own Garçon Bleu – where French flavours and local produce come together in an explosion of technique and taste. Garçon Bleu not only delivers mouthwatering tucker that even the fussiest of diners will enjoy, think honey-glazed duck breast, steamed flathead and Smokey Bay oysters, but personalised service that is second to none.
From the moment the front of house staff greets you with a friendly “bonjour” to the bespoke desserts that will leave you wanting more, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more fulfilling dining experience. After filling your boots, stop by Garçon Bleu Bar and knock back a few glasses of vino, with the curated, award-winning wine list honouring South Australia’s prestigious wine regions and France’s viticultural heritage. We suggest keeping it local and ordering a glass of Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon. Those after something a little fancy can try a cocktail from the bar’s revamped menu featuring signature tipples such as the Timeless Negroni and more exotic cocktails like the Bee’s Heat, a concoction of vodka, Giffard Piment d’Espelette, Aperol and chipotle-infused honey. The less adventurous can choose from a selection of beers, spirits and non-alcoholic bevvies.
