One of Adelaide’s most breathtaking hotel views is from the InterContinental Adelaide’s Presidential Suite. Adelaide Oval, the River Torrens and the spires of St. Peter’s Cathedral are the perfect backdrop to your stay with a King bed, sauna, lavish marble bathroom (how’s the view!) and a baby grand piano only steps away. It’s the ideal location to spoil yourself for a weekend getaway, a special anniversary, or “just because”, and has hosted many a VIP and Adelaide Festival artist over the years.

With its excellent proximity to the Adelaide Festival Centre complex and location in the cultural heart of the CBD, InterContinental Adelaide has partnered with Adelaide Festival since 2012 to help our artists and guests experience the height of luxury, comfort and elegance when they visit.

Earlier this year, the InterContinental Adelaide hosted music legend Angelique Kidjo - winner of five Grammy awards and one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people. Acclaimed young French writer and actor Édouard Louis, who wrote and starred in autobiographical theatre work Qui a tué mon père (Who killed my father) also stayed here while visiting Australia for the first time for AF24.

Live music is an Adelaide Festival staple and InterContinental Adelaide guests never know which iconic Australian and international star they may spy across the foyer every March. Recent festivals have seen the likes of Icehouse, Kate Ceberano, Jessica Mauboy, Paul Kelly, Grace Jones and Tim Minchin appear on Adelaide Festival stages. As a close neighbour to our festival hubs, and only a short walk to the Adelaide Festival Centre, Elder Park and Adelaide Oval Village Green, the InterContinental Adelaide’s ideal location ensured these stars had the perfect access to their venues. And a tantalising array of dining options ensure guests are well nourished after a full day of feeding our souls artistically! From a hearty buffet breakfast to post-show cocktails, and a 24-hour room service menu, the InterContinental has you covered whenever hunger strikes.   

Not only does the InterContinental Adelaide house some of our biggest artists, but also some of the prolific writers who converge on the Pioneer Women’s Memorial Gardens for Adelaide Writers’ Week.

We look forward to treating our future artists to the highest standard of hospitality in the InterContinental Adelaide’s Presidential Suite and other fabulous facilities. Why not consider a stay for yourself? As a proud Partner of Adelaide Festival, InterContinental offers 10% off of the best flexible rate for Festival guests. Book in for your next Festival stay and you never know who you might spy across the lobby as you enjoy the luxury and convenience of InterContinental Adelaide!
