Josh Australia

Our room was excellent and very clean even by Covid standards. The staff were excellent and handled my grief extremely well. We were given a late chechout and a $50 voucher.

Michael Australia

Loved the friendly, helpful staff, the location and the comfort of our room. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 the restaurant was not open but we enjoyed a delicious room service breakfast instead. As there was no Foxtel available when we were there, again, due to just getting back up & running after their Covid-19 shut down, we received a free breakfast for a night. We stayed 2 nights & really enjoyed the Playford hotel. Lovely, friendly staff, thank you 😊 definitely stay there again.

Pamela Australia

Well located, pleasant staff and facilities. Everything you need.

Elita Australia

Loved the room amenities including the fancy coffee maker

Kathryn United States of America

Stay in the heart of Adelaide – Excellent location – show map

The award-winning 5-star hotel, The Playford Mgallery by Sofitel, is a boutique hotel in the heart of Adelaide on vibrant North Terrace. The hotel features a 24-hour fitness center with a heated pool and sauna. The Playford Restaurant and Lounge Bar are undergoing a major transformation and will remain closed until August this year. In the meantime, there is a brand new in-room dining menu available 24 hours a day.

Located opposite the Adelaide Convention Center and Adelaide Casino, The Playford is only a 10-minute walk to Adelaide Oval and the local shopping area of Rundle Mall is just 1,500 feet away. The vibrant streets of the West End, filled with bars and restaurants, are only around the corner and the tram to the beachside suburb of Glenelg departs from outside the hotel.

Each classically designed room features high ceilings, work desks, air conditioning, a TV with cable channels and a marble private bathroom. Tea/coffee making facilities and a mini-bar are also available in the rooms. Some suites have a spa bath, separate living area and small kitchenette. Being a city based hotel, views from the rooms may be limited.

Facilities include a 24-hour reception desk, a business center, valet parking facilities and a guest laundry. The tour desk can assist with day tours to the wine regions of the Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale as well as provide advice on things to see and do in town. The tram to Glenelg Beach departs from around the corner.

This is our guests' favorite part of Adelaide, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
