New $60M Hotel in Adelaide’s South to Feature Rooftop Bar Wonderland
A New Era for Adelaide’s South: Hotel Panorama Brings Jobs, Views, and Vibrancy
Adelaide’s southern suburbs are about to level up—literally and figuratively. The $60 million Hotel Panorama, developed by the renowned Hurley Hotel Group, is set to inject fresh energy and prestige into the local hospitality scene. But it’s not just the scale of the investment that has South Australians buzzing—it’s Wonderland, the hotel’s upcoming rooftop bar, poised to become a new cultural icon in the region.
Located on the fourth floor of the five-storey hotel on Goodwood Road, Wonderland will offer panoramic views of the coastline, the city skyline, and the majestic Adelaide Hills—a triple treat that makes it unique in the southern suburbs. According to Hotel Panorama General Manager Scott Oakley, this visionary venue is like nothing else south of the city.
“A rooftop bar in the southern suburbs of Adelaide is something that doesn’t exist at the moment,” Mr Oakley said. “We’re really excited to have this come to life.”
And rightly so. With 77 hotel rooms including 26 serviced apartments, multiple function spaces, a ground-floor café and bar, a gaming lounge, and a sports bar, Hotel Panorama isn’t just another accommodation option—it’s a multi-purpose lifestyle destination. The development is expected to be completed by March next year, and what’s even more exciting for locals is the prospect of up to 200 new jobs across hospitality, management, and guest services.
Why This Is a Win for South Australia
This project is more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a symbol of confidence in Adelaide’s south—an area long deserving of investment and innovation. At a time when South Australia is pushing for stronger tourism, economic diversification, and lifestyle enhancements outside the CBD, Hotel Panorama is delivering on all fronts:
✅ Local Job Creation: Up to 200 employment opportunities will be offered, boosting the local economy and supporting families in the area.
✅ Tourism Growth: Unique, premium venues like Wonderland will attract visitors and events, putting Adelaide’s south on the map for leisure and business travellers.
✅ Lifestyle and Community: With its casual bar, café, and social spaces, Hotel Panorama is set to become a community hub—not just for guests, but for locals looking for a stylish spot to connect.
In short, this isn’t just a hotel. It’s a game-changer for the southern suburbs—proof that world-class design and hospitality can thrive beyond the CBD. As the build reaches its highest point, the excitement is palpable. And once Wonderland opens its doors, the south will never look the same again.
