Australia Welcomes First Hotel Indigo in the Vibrant Neighbourhood of Adelaide

The much-anticipated 145-room hotel with its intriguing design features, deep connections to the neighbourhood and exemplary culinary offerings is set to become a vibrant cultural hub for locals and visitors, and a hallmark of Hotel Indigo properties around the world.

Located next to the lively Adelaide Central Market, the hotel champions local producers in its two restaurants, MarketandMeander Eatery and Bar, as well as rooftop raw food bar, Merrymaker, which stands as the highest rooftop bar in Adelaide.

Housed on the site of a former textile factory, the property's"Raw and Refined"design ethos celebrates the neighbourhood's commercial past with an exciting blend of heritage-listed and modern architecture, as well as eye-catching contemporary design features.

The hotel's public spaces feature striking brick archways mimicking those in Adelaide Central Market, colourful street art-inspired murals by acclaimed Australian collage artists including Tristan Kerr, and an exposed terracotta brick feature wall etched with intriguing neighbourhood references such as"Six o'clock Swill"and"Mad March" the name given to Festival month in the city.

Continuing its cultural tribute, exclusive Adelaide Festival-inspired poster art features in the corridors and rooms, while a rotating selection of artworks creates an engaging, ever-changing backdrop in public spaces.

Thomas Zinn, General Manager, Hotel Indigo Adelaide Markets, said:"Hotel Indigo has paved its way across the globe as a truly fascinating brand designed to draw inspiration and spark curiosity from the roots of its surrounding neighbourhoods. With our ideal location right next door to the iconic Adelaide Central Market and near the newly renovated Her Majestys Theatre, Hotel Indigo Adelaide Markets is the perfect escape for visitors and locals looking for a new way to connect with Adelaide."

Inspiring local design

Just as no two neighbourhoods are alike, no two Hotel Indigos are the same. The hotel's 145 oversized rooms and suites all feature unique design touches, drawing on local neighbourhood cues.

These include copper fixtures - a nod to South Australias copper mining heritage, contemporary light wood furnishings and colourful rugs depicting the distinctive tessellated tile pattern often used in traditional Adelaide homes. Bathrooms are complete with modern two-head rainfall showers and premium Biology bath amenities, supporting the hotels green ethos with large-format bottles and environmentally friendly packaging.

Bedheads are emblazoned with eye-catching Festival-inspired murals while floor-to-ceiling windows provide majestic views over the city toward the Adelaide Hills, and all rooms contain local touchpoints such as teas by local supplier T Bar.

The hotel's 25 suites feature luxurious king size beds, espresso machines and minibars featuring locally sourced items including a pre-batched Wattleseed Negroni from Lot 100 in the Adelaide Hills, Floral as Hell Gin by local distiller, Blend Etiquette and the delicious Inch Licorice Block by Adelaide-based Melba's Chocolates.
