“We are pleased to partner with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to debut the Ramada brand in Adelaide and create a state-of-the-art hotel in such an important hub for the State. The development will set a benchmark for the planned infrastructure to take place across the city over the next five years,” said Andrew Russell-Price, Managing Director, Playford City Hotel Pty Ltd.
Playford is one of the fastest growing areas in South Australia and is tipped to become the CBD of Adelaide’s north, with the population expected to expand from 96,000 to 135,000 by 2036. The hotel’s launch will coincide with a significant expansion of Playford’s infrastructure, including the $885 million Northern Connector Expressway and a $40 million ice sport and recreation centre.
“The agreement with Wyndham brings this world-class hotel another step closer to becoming an iconic landmark in our CBD,” said Playford’s Mayor, Glenn Docherty. “For our community, it is not just a hotel; it is a symbol of our future economic prosperity and the opportunities that it represents.”
