The George Glenelg

The George Glenelg opened in April 2025 as a 60-room boutique hotel on Colley Terrace, steps from Glenelg Beach. Owned by the Taplin Group and managed by 1834 Hotels, it is pitched as one of South Australia's premier boutique hotels for the beachside leisure market.

The place

The George sits on Colley Terrace in Glenelg, Adelaide's premier beachside suburb, a short walk from Glenelg Beach, Moseley Square and the Jetty Road dining strip, with tram access straight into the CBD.

The concept

Opened in April 2025 by the Taplin Group, a South Australian family company dating to 1932, and managed by 1834 Hotels, The George is a 60-room boutique property built around a coastal design language, with rooms detailed with playful references to George, the Taplin family's dog. It is marketed as one of South Australia's premier boutique hotels for the beachside leisure market, filling a gap for a design-focused stay in Glenelg beyond the area's older motels and apartment stock. A rooftop bar and restaurant with ocean views was slated to follow the initial opening, extending the property's coastal, food-and-wine-led positioning.

Dining & wellness

A rooftop bar and restaurant with panoramic ocean views, built around local produce and cocktails, was set to open shortly after the hotel itself; further dining details are to be confirmed.
