Yes, these are the PR renders/images Sofitel uses on its website since months.

I might be in the minority but I do like the end result of this Sofitel structure, but it’s always been a design that somehow I felt I had seen before…and today I realised finally it reminds me of the UN building in NYC in some ways…this is a photo I took in 2009 when visiting:

I agree wholeheartedly. It's definitely like we have our own United Nations Building. Hopefully the United Nations gets tenancy in there in the near future. Good selling point.

Well, at some point they took bookings for September, then October, now November...

Though they have started fixing the sidewalks/roads around the building.

‘We got the timing just right’ on Sofitel Adelaide: developer
LARRY SCHLESINGER OCT 13, 2021

Developer Daniel Palumbo says his family could not have timed the opening of its $150 million Sofitel Adelaide any better, as the finishing touches went on the city’s first new five-star hotel since the InterContinental was completed more than three decades ago.

To be operated by accommodation giant Accor under one of its flagship luxury brands, the 251-room hotel within one of Adelaide’s tallest towers will open its doors on November 4, as domestic tourism kicks back into life ahead of what should be a more “normal” Christmas than last year.

“I’m excited and optimistic about the November opening,” said Mr Palumbo, who runs the family’s development business with his brothers Don and Anthony.

“I think we will roll up just right, but by pure luck. If we timed it earlier, it might have been a bit more problematic,” he told The Australian Financial Review.

The Sofitel is the culmination of a decade-long project by the Palumbo family, which started when it began amalgamating a prime site at 106 Currie Street in the heart of the Adelaide CBD.

Six years ago, the family struck an agreement with Accor to operate the hotel, which will sit within a 32-storey tower and includes 69 residential apartments, sold off the plan, occupying the top eight floors.

The hotel has been designed to reflect both the French heritage of the Sofitel brand and pay homage its surroundings: the lobby features a chandelier inspired by the shape of the city’s River Torrens while guest bathrooms feature a mosaic design inspired by the stained-glass windows of prominent Adelaide cathedrals.

Inside will be the Sofitel Club Lounge, two bars, a swimming pool, a fitness centre and meeting and private dining spaces.

A key element will be a “theatrical” modern French restaurant on level nine, Garcon Bleu, which the Palumbos are confident will prove another drawcard for visitors to the city.

“Our goal is to bring business, jobs and residents back to the city,” Mr Palumbo said.

“We believe an international brand like Sofitel aligns with the development goals of the city.”

The hotel will add to an improving hospitality scene in the CBD after the 329-room Crowne Plaza opened last year within the city’s tallest tower on Frome Street.

In 2023, a Westin Hotel operated by Marriott is due to open as part of the redevelopment of the GPO building on the corner of King William and Flinders streets.

Adding to the razzle-dazzle, the InterContinental is undergoing a $32 million full refurbishment by its Thai owners.

Hotel owners will be hoping the city’s occupancy rate, which fell to 38 per cent in August according to STR, will climb back quickly towards the 80 per cent level many enjoyed before the pandemic.

“In many ways we’re lucky as, with a new hotel, there is always a ramp. In our first year, we never expected to hit heights of 80 per cent, so it will be a smaller gap to make up than what other people are experiencing,” Mr Palumbo said of the Sofitel.

“With Christmas coming up, the state voucher scheme expected to have a positive impact and then borders opening up and flights resuming next year, we are quite optimistic about where we end up.”

For Accor, which celebrated 30 years in the Pacific this month, the Sofitel Adelaide is one of six hotels it will open between now and the first quarter of 2022, including a 172-room Movenpick in Melbourne

“The development of the Sofitel will play a major role in further elevating Adelaide’s international profile and is a positive step for the city’s economic growth,” said Accor Pacific chief executive Simon McGrath.

Sofitel Adelaide
Luxurious Welcome For First Guests At Sofitel Adelaide
Now open – 251 Rooms

The much-anticipated Sofitel Adelaide welcomed its first guests today 4 November 2021, becoming the first new-build, international five-star hotel to open in Adelaide's CBD in 30 years.

A ceremony was held to mark the $150 million hotel's official opening by The Hon. Steven Marshall MP, Premier of South Australia and Minister for Tourism, and Daniel Palumbo, Managing Director of Palumbo, the hotel's owner and developer.

With Sofitel Adelaide located in the heart of Adelaide's most vibrant city quadrant on Currie Street, guests can couple a decadent hotel experience with the very best Adelaide has to offer at their doorstep, including the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Convention Centre, Riverbank precinct and Rundle Mall. The incredible Adelaide Hills region is also a short 30-minute drive away, and the internationally-renown Barossa Valley wine region less than an hour from the hotel.

Part of a new 32-storey tower by the family-ownedPalumbo Group, the flagship hotel features a spectacular glass exterior set to become a glittering addition to the skyline. The impressive building houses one of the tallest residential developments to ever be unveiled in South Australia, securing its status as 'best in class' for a new generation of modern, mixed-use luxury towers. More than 1100 jobs were created during construction, with the hotel expected to employ around 150 people ongoing.

The first 24 storeys are dedicated to the hotel and its facilities including a selection of 251 luxurious guest rooms and suites (Superior, Deluxe, Luxury, Luxury Club, Prestige and Opera Suites), with a choice of city and Adelaide Hills views. Stunning fully open concept bathrooms with luxurious vanities and free standing bathtubs maximise a sense of space, with Balmain Paris room amenities provide an additional indulgent touch.

The pièce de resistanceis Sofitel's palatial Presidential Suite. The embodiment of luxury living, Sofitel Adelaide's Presidential Suite includes an extensive dining room and open living room concept, walk-in wardrobe, private study and a grand bedroom with an additional ensuite bathroom.

All Luxury Club rooms and suites at Sofitel Adelaide provide guests with access to additional complimentary facilities and services as part of Club Millésime. Situated on level 10, Club Millésime features a private lounge serving complimentary à la carte breakfast, afternoon tea and evening drinks and canapés, as well as offering personalised check in and check out.

Sofitel's interiors have been custom designed - from the burgundy coloured chandeliers featured in each guest room to the bespoke vintage-inspired wallpaper commissioned by Sofitel for the hotel's club lounge. In keeping with the hotel's themes of 'light and flow', Sofitel Adelaide's indoor heated pool is also in the spotlight, with spectacular natural light courtesy of floor to ceiling windows, and illumination from four bespoke chandeliers overhead.

Exquisite marble used throughout the Sofitel was sourced personally by owner, Daniel Palumbo, and his family direct from Carrera in Italy, in what was a very personal journey for the proud South Australian developer in bringing the hotel to life. This kind of extravagance extends to the Sofitel Fitness Centre (the hotel's gymnasium), also designed with a luxurious eye for detail to feature state-of-the-art equipment boasting the same leather finishings as used in Ferrari supercars for a world-class workout.

Every Sofitel around the world is culturally linked with a city or region in France that shares similar attributes in terms of culture, landscape and design and Sofitel Adelaide is culturally linked with Bordeaux - a city that epitomes viniculture and gastronomic refinement, as well as history and fine art.

Indeed, art will play an important role at the Sofitel with the hotel preparing to display artwork from more than ten local and international artists, including photographers Emmaline Zanelli and Drew Lenman; painter and ceramicist Michael Carney and glassblower Nick Mount- who all hail from South Australia. In the lobby two striking artworks provide an ultimate sense of arrival for Sofitel guests - an original historic French-inspired piece by Newcastle-based fine-art photographer, Alexia Sinclair, titled Field of Dreams, and a striking flowing red wine-inspired chandelier, representing the flow of wine and meandering of the nearby Torrens River.

Today also marks the soft opening of Garçon Bleu - a French re-imagined restaurant set to become Adelaide's newest gourmet destination. With elevated city views from its location on level nine of the new Sofitel Adelaide, Garçon Bleu's 90-seat dining room boasts an open kitchen, an extensive wine wall, and an up-lit oyster and raw seafood bar. In addition, Sofitel Adelaide has opened a luxurious street-level Champagne bar, Déjà Vu, inspired by the romantic sidewalk cafes of Paris to offer a selection of elegant beverages, lighter meals and casual eats seven days a week.

The Sofitel brand, which is world renowned for luxury French-style hospitality and a passion for art de vivre (the art of living), continues to expand its network across Australia and New Zealand. Sofitel Adelaide's opening marks Accor's tenth Sofitel hotel for the region and the luxury brand's debut in South Australia.

The largest hotel operator in Australia, Accor now has 15 hotels across South Australia, with 12 of these in the city of Adelaide. Sofitel Adelaide joins a growing portfolio of six Sofitel hotels and resorts in Australia and more than 120 globally.

Not sure if this was the developer or the council, but some nice planter boxes have been put in along Rosina Street. Good to see the footpath also widened.

In a perfect world the street would have been upgraded further into a shared laneway between Hindley and Currie Streets.
