Adelaide's Iconic Mayfair Hotel to Become Kimpton Luxury Brand
The heritage-listed "art deco great dame," the Mayfair Hotel, will be transformed into a luxury lifestyle destination under the renowned Kimpton brand. IHG Hotels & Resorts has partnered with Ark Capital to take over the management of this prominent Adelaide landmark.
Heritage and Transformation
Originally built in 1934 and converted into a luxury hotel in 2015, the Mayfair is famous for its grand Art Deco facade, classic interiors, and the popular rooftop bar, Hennessy. The hotel’s 170 rooms will stay under IHG’s management during a planned closure starting mid-December for extensive renovations. The revamped property, to be renamed Kimpton Mayfair Adelaide, is expected to reopen by the end of 2026.
