Special guests and dignitaries celebrate the topping out at Vibe Hotel Adelaide.

TFE Hotels’ new Adelaide development has reached the topping out stage of construction ahead of its opening in early 2023.

Vibe Hotel Adelaide is a first for the brand in South Australia, with project partners comprising GuavaLime, Loucas Zahos Architects and local builder, Synergy Construct.

The 18-storey, 123-room design-focused hotel features open plan bathrooms with views to the city or Adelaide Hills and a stylish sky bridge pool connecting the hotel to the neighbouring ONE Apartments.

The site is the tenth building and the second boutique hotel in a series of cutting-edge buildings in the city’s Flinders East precinct development.

Loucas Zahos’ director and principal architect, Con Zahos, said the brief for Vibe Adelaide was to complement and complete Flinders East, which includes ONE Adelaide, ART Apartments, Zen, Aqua, Flinders Loft and Soho Hotel.

He detailed: “Hotel guests can choose to retreat to thoughtfully-designed rooms or be part of a vibrant, inner-city community at street level with restaurants, bars and culture all at their doorstep.”

Local tourism boost

TFE Hotels’ director of development, John Sutcliffe, said he was excited to bring Vibe Hotels’ style of Australian hospitality to Adelaide and to the Flinders East Precinct.

“We have no doubt that this hotel will be a great support as Adelaide continues to grow their space, health, government, and defence business builds in the coming years,” he said, “And, together with a great lineup of new hotels in the city, it will also provide a substantial boost to local tourism experiences.

“Here, in the east of the city, Vibe will also offer Australian-style hospitality in the thick of the local sports and arts scene with the Adelaide Festival, WOMAD, and the Super Cars next year.”
