STAMFORD GRAND ADELAIDE (“SGA”)
The foundation stone of the Pier Hotel,
Glenelg, was laid by the Mayor, R.B. Colley,
on 7 June 1856. The hotel, which costs
about £7,000, was opened on Christmas Day
1856. It was then removed and replaced by
a 3 storey building in 1912. Through all these
years, the Pier Hotel was the place to stay.
For many years, the English Test cricketers
stayed there while playing in Adelaide.
The building was demolished in the late
1980s and replaced by a new luxury hotel.
The Ramada Grand Hotel, said to recreate
the best of Victorian era seaside hotels,
opened on 5 October 1990. In 1994, the
Group acquired and renamed it Stamford
Grand Adelaide.
