On the doorstep of the parklands, discover liveable luxury at Kent Town’s Royal Apartments
For over a decade, one of Kent Town’s most recognisable historic sites has sat vacant. The heritage-listed Royal Hotel, with its desirable city-fringe address, has been the object of previous proposals for residential redevelopment, but local developer Palumbo is ready to give the site the royal treatment.
Experience at the Helm
Family-owned Palumbo is one of South Australia’s most respected developers, and the company behind Sofitel Adelaide. The international, 5-star hotel in the CBD perfectly exemplifies their commitment to providing luxury escapes close to the action. With Royal Apartments, however, the experience is yours for life, rather than a weekend. The developers are offering a rare opportunity to own a residence or penthouse in Kent Town’s highly sought-after locale. “At Palumbo Group, we are passionate about delivering developments that contribute meaningfully to their surroundings,” says Group Managing Director Daniel Palumbo. “Royal Apartments has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its parkland setting, celebrate natural light and outlook, and foster a strong sense of community.”
The project is set apart—and above—by its location, with twin towers at 15 and 16 storeys positioned directly on North Terrace: where the best of the city meets Adelaide’s characteristic parklands. On the ground level, commercial opportunities abound. The long vacant Royal Hotel will also be fully restored, providing the site with Victorian-era frontage, and Kent Town with its new local. Altogether, the alliance of city vibrance and fringe tranquillity delivers residents with a lifestyle that is uncompromising on skyline views, thoughtful design and proximity to the action.
Unrivalled Vistas
The Royal Apartments’ 206 new residences will provide a serene retreat above the city. Set across twin towers, the 1-, 2- or 3-bedroom apartments and penthouses can accommodate a variety of family sizes and lifestyles. Palumbo’s ethos, centred around architectural excellence and enduring quality, has provided the true north for the Royal’s design. Opulent, modern interiors are signposted by curated material palettes and luxury appliances. The main jewel in the Royal’s crown, however, is its view. Situated directly off the parklands, the apartments aim to make the most of unbeatable park-to-city panoramas. Generous balconies and floor-to-ceiling glazing capitalise on these incredible vistas, providing the perfect spot for quiet reflection or elegant entertaining. It’s a snapshot residents will delight in waking up to every morning.
Adelaide’s Finest on Your Doorstep
With on-site parking, secure bike storage and proximity to a high-frequency bus corridor, traversing our great city is a breeze. The porte-cochère provides a convenient pick-up and drop-off point, ideal for rideshare services, taxis and chauffeured vehicles. All of Adelaide’s vibrant dining, arts and sporting scenes are at your fingertips, with the apartments providing a peaceful axis around which Adelaide’s most exciting venues operate. Residents are opposite our renowned Fringe Festival; adjacent to the Wine Centre, Botanic Gardens and WOMADelaide; down the street from the Art Gallery, Museum and Adelaide Zoo. The lively East End, with its bustling bars and world-class dining, is on your way home from the office, easily facilitating last-minute dinners or knock-off drinks. Hutt Street’s cafés are the natural destination on your Saturday morning walk. Shop the finest produce at the Central Markets and the latest fashions in the shopping district. At the end of it all, your serene retreat above the city will be waiting.
Low-Maintenance, High-Impact Living
Luxury living means thoughtful design. At the Royal Apartments, no detail has been left to chance. Private resident amenities, including wellness and leisure facilities, combine convenience with elegance and exclusivity with community. The residential lounge and communal areas make draughty, disused dining rooms and cramped kitchen catch-ups a thing of the past. From family barbecues to milestone parties, residents can use the function spaces to entertain at scale, stress free. Everyday movement is elevated with access to the Royal’s private gym. Alternatively, step outside and run or walk a lap around your new playgrounds: Rymill, Rundle and Victoria Park. Take a dip in the apartments’ green-tiled outdoor pool, which rounds out the Royal’s proffered oasis with a wash of calm and restoration. Every element has been thoughtfully curated, perfectly complementing a life lived at the convergence of luxury and location. To feel like royalty, crowns and sceptres are immaterial. A residence at the Royal Apartments will do just fine.
To experience a foretaste of luxurious, city-fringe living, step into the Royal Apartments’ display suite on North Terrace, open from Thursday to Sunday, 10am–4pm, or head online to register your interest.
