Marriott International Inc. has announced it has signed an agreement with Greaton Group, to bring Westin Hotels & Resorts to South Australia.

The Westin Adelaide (pictured above) is set to open in 2022 as part of a redevelopment of the iconic Adelaide General Post Office (GPO) building.

The hotel will join the Westin brand’s rapidly growing portfolio in Australia, where its footprint is set to double in the next five years with hotels opened in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth and forthcoming in Brisbane, Darwin and Coolum on the Sunshine Coast.
 
Richard Crawford, the Senior Director Development, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, Marriott International said the brand is enjoying phenomenal growth across Australia and in the Pacific.

"We’re on track to have 50 open hotels by 2020.”
 
Located at the corner of King William and Flinders Streets, in the heart of Adelaide’s Central Business District, The Westin Adelaide will be housed in the Adelaide GPO.

The hotel will be housed in a 15-storey tower, with all 285 guestrooms offering views of the city skyline and Victoria Square. 

The hotel will hold more than 310 square meters of meeting and event space, as well as a 24-hour business center.  
 
“Expanding the Westin brand into Adelaide is important strategically, as the city is enjoying great growth and development, which isn’t showing any signs of slowing down, and visitor numbers are at a record high and are on track to increase by 5.1 percent in the next ten years,” said Sean Hunt, Area Vice President, Marriott International, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.
