The 144-room apartment-style accommodation welcomed its first guests since the renovation project was completed, reopening on 14 February 2025.

As part of TFE Hotels’ revitalisation of first-generation Adina Hotels, the Bates Smart-designed property has unveiled its contemporary and spacious rooms and communal areas that offer visitors refined comfort and convenience in the heart of Sydney city.

“We wanted the rooms at Adina Town Hall to feel like a home away from home,” says Brenton Smith, Bates Smart’s interior design director.

“In the layouts, we opted for simple solutions that are attractive, such as removing walls and joinery and adding portals to create height and visual focal points.

“Less is definitely more with the designs, and the result is a space that exudes elegance and makes guests feel at home.”

Adina Town Hall’s lobby design creates a welcoming arrival experience with a lounge-style setting, including curved furniture and bespoke joinery.

“The kitchen is the heart of the home, and Bates Smart has designed spaces where guests can entertain, relax and feel at ease, whether in their apartment or in the hotel’s lobby lounge,” says Emma Soutter, TFE Hotels’ regional general manager.

“It’s an approach resonating with our guests.”

The renovated Adina Town Hall is the latest reimagining of Adina properties, including Adina Pentridge Melbourne (February 2023) and Adina Geneva (March 2023), as well as recent refurbishments in Melbourne on Flinders and Chippendale in Sydney.

More first-generation Adina Hotels, including Adina Darling Harbour in Sydney, are set to be refurbished in the coming months.
