- Meaningfully contribute to the success of Cystalbrook SAM

Crystalbrook Sam is Adelaide’s newest five-star hotel, bringing timeless elegance and modern sophistication to the heart of the city.

Across 196 rooms and suites, warm interiors, intuitive technology and thoughtful details make settling in effortless. Set on Halifax Street, three streets south of the city centre, Crystalbrook Sam is within an easy stroll of the Central Market, in a city that has spent centuries getting food and wine right.

Martines rooftop bar and grill restaurant, 1836 and Menio offer two distinct private dining rooms for client dinners, celebrations and intimate gatherings.

1836 sits within the natural rhythm of the restaurant, with a curtain drawn when privacy is called for. Menio, fully enclosed beside the bar, offers a more secluded setting, giving the table a room entirely to itself.
