As soon as the train leaves Perth, you begin to feel how immense Western Australia truly is. The city dissolves, the horizon opens, and the landscape stretches out as if it’s breathing.

Adelaide feels different from most major Australian cities. Softer, wider, more orderly. A place where the streets make sense, parks appear everywhere and the atmosphere has a quiet, almost European ease.

The cliffs at Hallett Cove are no ordinary rocks. They were shaped by glaciers that moved across this landscape around 280 million years ago.

For me, Atura Adelaide was the perfect stopover: comfortable, practical, friendly and just a little different. The location is convenient, the staff relaxed, and the hotel has exactly that creative touch that reflects Adelaide so well.
