TFE Hotels has officially reopened Adina Town Hall, introducing a refined, apartment-style accommodation experience in the heart of the CBD.
Designed by Bates Smart, TFE Hotels said the newly refurbished 144-room Adina blends timeless elegance with contemporary comfort, offering business and leisure travellers a stylish and spacious retreat just moments from Sydney’s top attractions.
“We wanted the rooms at Adina Town Hall to feel like a home away from home,” says Bates Smart Interior Design director, Brenton Smith. “In the layouts, we opted for simple solutions that are attractive, like removing walls and joinery and adding portals to create height and visual focal points.”
Smith highlights the use of soft, high-quality materials that evoke the warmth of an upmarket apartment.
“Less is definitely more with these designs,” he added. “And the result is a space that exudes elegance and makes guests feel at home.”
Adina Town Hall’s lobby design mirrors this approach, creating a welcoming arrival experience with a lounge-style setting. Strong focal points, curved furniture, and bespoke joinery soften the geometry, making the space feel inviting, Smith said.
TFE Hotel’s Regional General Manager, Emma Soutter, said early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
“The kitchen is the heart of the home, and Bates Smart has designed spaces where guests can entertain, relax, and feel at ease, whether in their apartment or in the hotel’s lobby lounge,” she said. “It’s an approach that is really resonating with our guests.”
The reimagined Adina Town Hall joins a new wave of elevated Adina properties, including Adina Pentridge Melbourne (February 2023) and Adina Geneva (March 2023), as well as recent refurbishments in Melbourne on Flinders and Chippendale in Sydney. More first-generation Adinas, including Adina Darling Harbour, are set to be refurbished in the coming months.
Housewarming special
To celebrate the reopening, Adina Town Hall has launched a Housewarming Special. Guests booking the best available rate (starting from $439) will enjoy complimentary parking for one car, a bottle of Australian wine on arrival, and a 1pm late check-out. The opening offer is valid until 31 January 2026. Bookings close 31 October 2025.
