Will tehe footpath be "restored" to the original form, or will the "restoration" incorporate the plan to extend the Frome Street separated bike lane? The entrance to the car park and taxi access to the hotel was one of the "complex" things that delayed the construction of the separate bike lanes.

Unless that funding is already quarantined away I imagine the bikeway works will be low priority for the near future with all the budget issues now.

75% of the building and it's materials come straight from China. Karma.

Whats karma got to do with it? The hotel chain didn't build this tower.

I am well aware of that.

It was a general statement - this is the price you pay for being cheap and not supporting local/national industries.

Just wait till all the external glazing rubbers start falling out of the Chinese manufactured windows.

Is that bare concrete at ground level the final finish?

Hey guys, I produced a short video tour of North Terrace last week. I wasn't sure where to post this, but considering that Adelaidean and Realm both feature prominently, I thought adding it to their respective forum threads would probably be most appropriate.

Large mobile crane out in front of this one today. Couldn't see what they were doing.

Its a stock standard building. Nothing great about it, nothing all that bad either. Simplistic more then anything else.
Just wait till the monstrosity next door goes up.

Whats the monstrosity? Can you show me please

Takes less time to google a solution than for you to type that out, seriously.

I've got that on an older laptop, it still works, but I got it when it was listed on Mozillas addons. It's been removed for download/install. So if you guys can figure out how to install that from github...
But I have access to a paid subscription anyway, hence the articles I post.

A luxury experience and spectacular views of the city and Adelaide Hills will be on offer to guests of Adelaide’s newest 5-star hotel when it opens in November.

Operators of the Crowne Plaza have released the first images inside the hotel, including the city’s highest restaurant and a high-rise infinity pool overlooking North Terrace.

The opening of the Frome Street hotel was pushed back from September to November 2 following heightened travel restrictions for visitors from Victoria.

Crowne Plaza Adelaide general manager Sarah Goldfinch said the hotel was well-positioned to attract travellers as border restrictions eased, as well as local South Australians looking for a “staycation” in a brand new complex.

“While borders remain closed demand is very limited to an intrastate market – we will be promoting our unique restaurant and bar experiences to locals and encouraging South Australians to stay in one of Adelaide’s newest 5-star hotels,” she said.

“We are encouraged by slow signs of recovery in the domestic drive market and interest in social events.

“We are confident the eastern states of Australia have a new appreciation for what Adelaide and South Australia has to offer and will prioritise SA for their next holiday or business trip.”

The finishing touches are being put on the hotel, located in Adelaide’s tallest tower – the 138m Frome Central Tower One building.

The tenth floor will be the main hub, where guests will check in to one of 329 rooms located across the first 20 floors of the building.

It will also accommodate Crowne’s “Plaza Workspace” co-working concept, which is being rolled-out in venues across the world.

Japanese restaurant Koomo, a gym, conference and events space and alfresco bar Luna10 will also be found on the tenth floor, leading out to the spectacular infinity pool.

“Guests can expect a 5-star hotel experience,” Ms Goldfinch said.

“They can expect unique views of Adelaide at every angle, exceptional dining experiences from Adelaide’s highest restaurant and bar, and they can enjoy a cocktail poolside while soaking up the sun and the views of Adelaide at our outdoor, heated infinity pool.”

Plaza Workspace, Luna10 and Koomo will be open to the public and not be restricted to guests of the hotel, which will employ close to 75 staff.

The hotel opening marks the return of the Crowne Plaza brand in Adelaide after the previous Crowne Plaza hotel, at Hindmarsh Square, was taken over by AccorHotels in 2017 and rebranded as a Pullman.

As part of an opening special, the Crowne Plaza is offering a 50 per cent discount on normal room rates.
