History
The Playford Hotel stands at 120 North Terrace in Adelaide, on the site of the former News Limited building — home of Rupert Murdoch's newspaper The News — which was demolished in 1997 after a fire. Built in 1997–98, the hotel opened in 1998, developed by the Sparr family as an art hotel and named for the long-serving South Australian premier Sir Thomas Playford.
It first traded as the Radisson Playford, later as The Sebel Playford, and was rebranded into Accor's MGallery in 2014. A $25 million renovation by designer Hachem was completed in early 2023, adding the Luma Restaurant. The hotel has 182 rooms (110 rooms and 72 suites).
