Adelaide has welcomed a new addtition to its boutique accommodation landscape, with the Oval Hotel hosting its first guests last week.
Interstate tourists from NSW already have a new accommodation option should they plan to visit Adelaide following the easing of border restrictions last week, with the Oval Hotel opening its doors.
Positioned at the historic Adelaide Oval, the boutique venue has been 15 months in the making and comes with many of the city's defining characteristics, including panoramic views of St Peter's Cathedral, River Torrens and the CBD skyline.
The South Australian flavour also extends to the menus of the Five Regions Restaurant and Bespoke Wine Bar and Kitchen, as well as the amenities and artwork throughout each of the 138 rooms.

"Oval Hotel is both a destination in itself, and a perfectly positioned starting point for further exploration of South Australia."
As of midnight last Wednesday, travellers from New South Wales were no longer required to quarantine upon arrival to South Australia in a move expected to bring some relief to the state's many tourism operators.
