What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
EOS by SkyCity single-handedly raises the ceiling for high-end hospitality in Adelaide, with modern-luxe rooms and suites that are beyond anything this city has seen.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Festival Plaza and the Adelaide Festival Centre sit right outside, with walking paths following the River Torrens.
The rooms
Monochrome interiors keep the focus on full-height river views, and selected suites add balconies over the water.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated pool shares the first-floor sundeck with a warm vitality spa and loungers set beneath the curved facade.
The spa
Organic botanical treatments come from BODHI, with a cedarwood dry sauna and a sunlit lounge hung with paper pendants.
The gym
Technogym cardio and strength equipment lines the fitness centre, looking through floor-to-ceiling windows over the River Torrens.
At the table
Sôl Rooftop lights outdoor fire pits with views toward the Adelaide Hills, and downstairs cocktail bars look across the river.
How it began
The name honors Eos, the Greek goddess of the dawn. The tower opened in 2020 beside Adelaide's historic railway station.
