The Watson Art Series Hotel

Well-positioned for trips into the city centre and out to the Adelaide Hills, The Watson is set in a transformed Transport Department building. The interior draws inspiration from Indigenous artist Yannima Pikarli Tommy Watson, whose colourful artworks pepper the premises.

There are 24 self-contained suites and long-stay one- and two-bedroom residence apartments. Rooms are kitted out with bookshelves of art tomes and magazines, and there’s an on-site restaurant, pool and gym. There are also smart cars available to hire, making it tempting to zip away to the McLaren Vale or Barossa Valley wine regions for the day.
