GUESTS will be able to “swim between buildings” in a new hotel planned for the Adelaide CBD.

International hotel group TFE Hotels will open a Vibe Hotel in Adelaide’s Flinders Street in 2020, claiming it will be “the city’s most eye-catching new attraction”.

At 18 storeys, fronted with glass and 118 rooms, it will stand alongside the One Adelaide apartments — currently being constructed by the development business of award-winning Locas Zahos Arhitects, Guava Lime, as part of their 16-year development of the precinct.

TFE have partnered with Guava Lime for the new building, which Principal Architect and

Director Con Zahos says will be the anchor of the “Paris end” of Adelaide.

“It will be the focal point and springboard for visitors experiencing and doing business in Adelaide,” Mr Zahos said.

“We have designed one of Australia’s first pools that stretches between two buildings.

“Hotel guests and the general public can walk underneath the pool as it will be suspended 4.6m above a public plaza. The pool runs the length of a breezeway, with a walkway on one side of the pool providing access between two buildings.

“We understand there are two other development projects with planning approval in Australia, a hotel in Perth and a residential building in Brisbane, with overhead pool structures.”

TFE Hotels’ Managing Director Allan Vidor said it would be a flagship hotel for the brand.

“This will be a very sought-after location, great for both business and leisure,” he said.

Savills Australia’s Rob Williamson and Vasso Zographou negotiated the terms on behalf of Guava Lime.

The hotel will also have an open-plan ground floor restaurant and bar and gymnasium.

Context shot. This one is pretty prominent in certain parts of the east of the CBD since there's not too much highrise around it (yet).

Very prominent from Hackney road.

Some glass on Flinders St frontage now. Sorry no photo. But looks quite reflective

This is huge and has now surpassed the crane cabin again. not sure if crane will rise or this is the final height.

This is very noticeable from Lefevre Terrace in North Adelaide.

[Plasmatron]

Even more noticeable from Victoria Park! Perfect vantage point for all the new East side developments. But didn't this building get reduced down from the original 78m? Just wondering because the thread title was never changed.

Yeah, I believe it is now 24 and 20 floors.

From today about to start floor 21.
