ABOUT US
JUST LIKE A FINE WINE, WE GET BETTER WITH AGE.
In 1991, amidst the backdrop of an unforgiving recession, the iconic Arkaba Hotel found itself in the hands of receivers. However, driven by a bold vision, hotel owners Peter and Jenny Hurley refused to let adversity hinder their dreams. After a lengthy battle for bank approval, they finally took ownership of their first Freehold Hotel. Meanwhile, Peter’s brother, Tony Hurley, saw the potential and seized the opportunity to build an exceptional retail liquor business on the premises.
Today, the Arkaba Hotel stands as a symbol of style, comfort, and excellence in accommodation, entertainment and function facilities. As a four-star hotel, we offer affordable luxury suites, including indulgent loft suites, perfect for a weekend getaway, business trip, or family vacation. Situated just five minutes east of Adelaide’s CBD, our location is both convenient and accessible.
At the Arkaba Hotel, we take great pride in offering an all-inclusive experience that exceeds expectations. With live entertainment every week, state-of-the-art function spaces, an award-winning sports bar, impressive cellars and drive-thru bottle shop, a gaming lounge, and trendy dining menus featuring the freshest local produce, we leave no stone unturned in providing the finest experience possible. With everything you need under one roof, your every desire will be catered to with precision and care.

Your official mascot and the face (and tail) of Sportys. You’ll find him outfoxing everyone at shuffleboard, digital darts and pool and making friends with everyone who walks through the door. You may even catch him lending a paw behind the bar every now & again to serve you an icy cold pint.
