The Playford, MGallery by Sofitel, an award-winning five-star boutique hotel on Adelaide's vibrant North Terrace, blends classical Art Nouveau elegance with contemporary luxury in the heart of the city's cultural and business hub.

The 182 exquisitely appointed guestrooms, studio spa suites, and New York-style loft suites feature high ceilings, air-conditioning, work desks, cable TVs, minibars, tea-and-coffee facilities, and marble en-suite bathrooms, with some suites offering indulgent spa baths, separate living areas, and kitchenettes. Each room exudes timeless sophistication, blending ornate design with modern comforts to create a refined sanctuary for couples, business travellers, or families, though city-based views may be limited. The hotel's accolades, including 2017 Best Deluxe Accommodation and Best Luxury Accommodation at the South Australian Tourism Awards, reflect its commitment to excellence.

The onsite restaurant, crowned Best Restaurant in a Hotel at the 2017 SA Restaurant and Catering Awards, serves exquisite cuisine showcasing local produce, paired with a curated selection of wines, in a stunning Art Nouveau setting. Guests can unwind in the 24-hour Health Club, featuring a heated indoor pool, spa, and sauna (undergoing upgrades from mid-August, with alternative arrangements at Sofitel Adelaide), or maintain their routine in the state-of-the-art fitness centre. The 24-hour reception, business centre, guest laundry, and tour desk arranging day trips to Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale enhance the seamless hospitality.

Located opposite the Adelaide Convention Centre and Adelaide Casino, just 450 metres from Rundle Mall, a 10-minute walk from Adelaide Oval, and steps from the vibrant West End's bars and restaurants, with a tram to Glenelg Beach nearby and Adelaide International Airport 9 km away, The Playford offers complimentary Wi-Fi and valet parking. This elegant retreat delivers an exquisite fusion of opulent luxury and the vibrant allure of Adelaide's cultural and commercial heart.
