Hotel Richmond
Rundle Mall is Adelaide's premier shopping district, putting this boutique 1920s-built hotel in the center of the action. Nearby attractions include the Rundle Street restaurant district, Adelaide Zoo, and the Adelaide Casino. The tennis courts at Memorial Drive, home of the Adelaide Open and Davis Cup, are a five-minute walk away. It's also convenient to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, which is big enough for a full day of walking and picnicking. Ask for a room with a private balcony or courtyard access.
