A riotous colour scheme rules this roost, where festival-inspired artwork brightens corridors and rooms, red brick archways mimic those at the nearby Adelaide Central Markets and pink leather banquettes in the Market and Meander restaurant pay homage to one-time premier Don Dunstan’s famous shorts. This boutique wonderland isn’t shy when it comes to bold design statements. For more X-factor, head to the rooftop bar (the city’s highest), where a kaleidoscopic palette vies for supremacy with the captivating views.
