Unique Sleeps: Amazing hotels hand picked by Expedia Experts. The Mayfair Hotel<\/a>, Adelaide, South Australia.<\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s something abut a hotel harvesting its own honey that pulls on my heartstrings. Like sitting down to breakfast in a humble country cottage in a bygone era, homemade honey represents a commitment to the environment, to the community and to a really good breakfast! The Mayfair\u2019s buffet breakfast, served in the Mayflower Restaurant, comes with its own honey table. A pot of freshly prepared \u201cMayfair Rooftop Bees\u201d honey and a big slab of honeycomb take pride of place. Drizzled on bit sized muffins and fresh bread, it\u2019s a good introduction to Adelaide, and South Australia\u2019s bountiful produce.<\/p>\n

The Mayfair opened last year and is Adelaide\u2019s<\/a> newest luxury five star hotel, located smack bang in the heart of town on the corner of King William Street and the edge of Rundle Mall. The building has been lovingly restored to its former glory, using locally sourced materials and an aesthetic that\u2019s chic and stylish.<\/p>\n

Beyond the bees, there\u2019s another rooftop resident generating a lot of buzz. The Mayfair\u2019s rooftop bar Hennessy is named after the building\u2019s first architects and is the place to see and be seen in Adelaide. Tucked into the vaulted roof, and reaching out to a terrace looking out over the city, the bar is a beauty, with customer marble bar top, chandeliers, art deco tiles and a serious wine list filled with local heavyweights. Order a Barossa red and look out over the gargoyles to the city as the sun sets.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t want to leave but from here you\u2019re on the doorstep of Adelaide\u2019s up and coming small bar scene. Gin and tonic specialists Hains & Co is just around the corner, serving local and rare gins, while Pink Moon Saloon just a few more streets away is a cute Nordic-esque cabin that\u2019s worth popping in to for a nightcap or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
