[metro]

Just had a thought that this building and that part of the intersection would look 100x better if they removed the awnings.

I think I'd agree. It's just so heavy as is.

Just go to WEST Wyalong (NSW) to see what 'heavy' is about. I think the awnings are in period with the BLDG and should stay but painted up again.

Some background on the Adabco Group, their interest in the Adelaide hospitality/tourism market and their Mayfair Hotel.

Malaysian investment helps fill gaps in luxury hotel market in Adelaide

AN expected boon of Chinese tourists keen to sample South Australian food and wine is behind the refurbishment of a heritage building into a luxury hotel in Adelaide due to open this year.

Sitting on the corner of the main intersection in Adelaide’s CBD, the circa-1934 Adelaide Colonial Mutual Life Assurance Society (CML) Building is being converted into the Mayfair Hotel Adelaide by the Malaysia-backed Adabco Group.

What's up with that ugly facade?
I really hope someone vetos their building permit until they present something with a more pleasing appeal.

Uh, where have you been? This has been the going render since it was proposed, it's months from completion; won't get changed. It's meant to look like a jewelry box.

Out of the country for 2 years But missing home and hope to be back soon.

Currently the crosshatch design of the 'jewelery box' can be seen poking above the tarps. The exterior may be close to completion, or maybe just the top part.

I like the little cube shape, and that its facade goes around the structure and down the lane it makes a refreshing change from the pebble-Crete and fake sandstone used in many of Adelaide's buildings

Hi,
I have noticed that there has been no external work on this building lately.
how is this hotel progressing?

when is the current expected completion date?


Cheers.

[Dvious]

There has been external work if you look closely.

The hotel has been progressing as it should be.

[monotonehell]

The tarp on the jewel box extension has been pulled down / fallen down revealing more of the external treatment. I'm never quick enough to snap a useful photo.

Not sure if it looks good or not...

I'm worried it may look tacky :/
