STAMFORD PLAZA ADELAIDE (“SPA”)
The story has its beginning in 1879, when a public
house was first erected on the site in North
Terrace. Renamed the South Australian Hotel
(“The South”) in 1894 and upgraded in 1900s,
this three-storey hotel featuring wide balconies
became the grandest on North Terrace.
Over the next three decades, The South
was recognized as one of the great hotels.
Guests from all over the world stayed there,
including author H.G. Wells, dancer Anna
Pavlova, film star Marlene Dietrich and, of
course, the famous mop-tops, The Beatles.
It was demolished in 1971 to be replaced by
the modern Gateway Hotel, which was later
renamed The Terrace. Today, “The South” is
known as Stamford Plaza Adelaide.
Some felt it was equal in nostalgic
significance to Raffles’ Hotel in Singapore.
“The South” was more than an icon, it was
Adelaide for almost 100 years.
