The intercontinental in Adelaide is a good hotel, well located, quite, with lovely views of the Torrents River, over the city and down to the coast. It is in short walking distance to the inner city centre, museums, univercity, botanical gardens, cinema, restaurants & more.
If I had to be overly critical I'd say the room could do with an upgrade, although the bathroom seems to have been up date recently with modern fixtures and an excellent shower. The room have an odd octaginal shape with the TV positioned to the side of the bed which we found a little odd.
The hotel is clean, well run and has all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. The main hotel restaurant next to the lobby serves good food, I particularly enjoyed the local Barrosa valley rabbit and obviously they have a great selection of wine. Certainly worth an evening dinner.
We staying in the Club suites and therefore had access to the club lounge which is a great place to meet in the afternoon for drinks and snacks. I thought the complementary tasters served by the chef were excellent. We had breakfast in the lounge every morning which was very comfortable to relax enjoy coffee, read the news paper and plan the rest of the day.
The valet parking guys were great. they took good care of our car, helped with directions and knew all the good places to go.
All round a good hotel, certainly recommend it.
Room Tip: Choose a club suite
