The luxury Playford Adelaide - MGallery by Sofitel is nothing if not opulent. From its grand, wrought-iron Art Nouveau facade to its decadent restaurant with gold chandeliers, there is very little here that can be called understated. The 182 rooms are decorated in shades of scarlet and gold, and have king-size beds, bathrobes, and kettles, but many rooms overlook nearby office blocks or a loud, busy main road. The upside of its setting means it's in the middle of central Adelaide, and within easy walking or tram distance of major sights. Travelers looking for a similarly high-end place that's quieter might prefer the Hilton Adelaide.

Located in the center of Adelaide and easily accessible to both the business district and city attractions, this three-and-a-half-pearl contemporary chain hotel comes with all the brand essentials that cater mostly to busy corporate travelers. The 308 practical rooms have comfortable beds and sleek desks. There's a full fitness center, indoor pool, spa, a business center, and free Wi-Fi throughout. Impressive breakfast buffets (for a fee), 24-hour room service, and free shuttles to the Adelaide Oval are also convenient for urban tourists. Some amenities, like on-site laundry and valet parking, can by pricey. However, for a large, well-appointed hotel in the middle of the city, overall rates are reasonable. The Adelaide Inn is a smaller, more eclectic option with an outdoor pool in a similarly central location.

The Adina Apartment Hotel Adelaide Treasury is an upscale property, centrally located near Adelaide's Victoria Square. This converted ministerial building retains original features like underground tunnels, although exquisite refurbishment renders it modern. The 80 apartment-style rooms have kitchen facilities, iHome docking stations, and great living areas, though they're a bit bland looking, and Wi-Fi is at a fee. The well-reviewed bar occupies a great courtyard spot, as are the restaurant's meals. A swish pool accompanies a spa and gym, plus meeting facilities are solid. Losing the history, but still with a pool, the Adelaide Rockford is a good downtown alternative offering free Wi-Fi.

Ibis may be known as a mid-range brand, but this Ibis Adelaide, which has a prime downtown location, warrants a half-pearl uptick because of its contemporary style and attractive amenities. There's an on-site restaurant with a 24-hour takeaway menu and bar, a modern gym with a balcony, plus business amenities and self-service laundry. The hotel's 311 guest rooms are small, with modern decor that's a bit bland, but all come equipped with smart TVs, mini-fridges, and electric kettles. Some even have great city views. The hotel is competitively priced, but extra fees add up -- expect to pay for Wi-Fi, parking, and breakfast. For a dash more luxury, including a sauna, hot tub, and pool, travelers may wish to consider the Crowne Plaza Adelaide.
