Designs for a slim 94-room hotel on South Terrace have been released, with the property to be operated by the Wyndham Hotel Group once built.

Plans for a 15-level Wyndham Hotel on the corner of South Terrace and Morphett Street were released earlier this week, with the proposed tower to replace a single-storey office building.

The building at 81 South Terrace will sit next to an eight-storey apartment building, with Future Urban – on behalf of Nic Design Studio – seeking approval for the tower.

The tower will overlook the southern parklands and requires City of Adelaide approval to go ahead as developers do not expect the hotel will cost more than $10 million to build.

However, it requires an exemption to the site’s maximum building height of 36 metres, as the hotel will be 48.4 metres tall.

It will also be extremely slim, with just 9 metres of frontage to both South Terrace and Reeves Street. Rooms will be small too, at just 10sqm.

The building will sit on a small corner plot bordered by South Terrace, Morphett Street and Reeves Street.

In addition to the 94 rooms of hotel accommodation, the tower will include a café on the ground floor, a gym on level one, and hotel rooms above that.

According to Future Urban, the proposed building will “be constructed of precast concrete off-form panels, finished in white and dark grey offset by uniform glazed panels to the north, south and western elevations”.

If built, the hotel would be Wyndham’s second in Adelaide alongside the TRYP by Wyndham Pulteney Street hotel.

Elsewhere in Australia, Wyndham operates hotels under the brands Club Wyndham and Ramada.

Responses to the development application will close on 14 April.
