Adelaide Oval

Adelaide Oval is one of Adelaide's most recognisable landmarks, seating around 53,500 across the home of AFL football, international cricket and headline concerts. Located on War Memorial Drive beside the River Torrens, it sits directly across the parklands from the CBD and Toms Court Hotel, with the historic scoreboard and Moreton Bay fig trees still standing alongside its modern stands.

Toms Court Hotel is one of the closest hotel bases to Adelaide Oval, with the stadium reachable on foot, by tram, or a short combination of both. Guests attending an AFL match, Test match or concert can walk back to their room in minutes rather than relying on event-day transport.

Even without a game on, the Oval is worth the walk. Visitors can explore the stadium, take on RoofClimb for panoramic views across Adelaide from the Western Stand rooftop, or continue along the River Torrens and the wider Riverbank Precinct before heading back into the city. For guests staying at Toms Court Hotel, it is one of the easiest major attractions to reach, on event days and every day in between.
