Celebrating 15 Years of Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide

November 2024

This month, Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide celebrated an extraordinary milestone—15 years of welcoming guests, creating unforgettable memories, and being a proud part of the Adelaide community.

Back in 2009, the year of Barack Obama’s inauguration, the launch of Windows 7, and MasterChef Australia’s first season, Grand Hotels International took over the Holiday Inn on Hindley Street and transformed it into the Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide. Fast forward to today, and we’ve proudly hosted 1.5 million guests, served 1.2 million eggs, and gone through 16,500km of toilet paper (enough to cover 386 marathons!).

A Celebration Like No Other

Our 15th birthday was a vibrant celebration held on our pool deck. Adorned with colorful lanterns and balloons, the space came alive as guests arrived in their best party attire, from bold blues to vibrant pinks. The festivities kicked off with a Community Canvas art activity, symbolising the diversity and vibrancy of our culture and community.

The night featured nostalgic tunes and modern hits from live band Two for One and a specially curated menu crafted by our Executive Chef. Each dish represented a different year of our journey, including playful nods like butter chicken served in takeaway bags during the “Covid Era.”

Reflecting on Our Journey

General Manager Tony Scrivener shared heartfelt reflections on the hotel’s history and a few fun facts:

  • Over the years, 324 dedicated team members have been part of our story.
  • Our commitment to sustainability and innovation has shaped our reputation as one of Adelaide’s most iconic hotels.

Here’s to the next 15 years of hospitality, connection, and Grand moments!
