Accommodation in Adelaide

We list accommodation within a 3 km (approx.) radius of the Institute, in Adelaide, Kent Town (across parklands east), and North Adelaide (across parklands north): In each category establishments are listed in order of distance from the National Institute for Theoretical Physics, with the closest ones first. Approximate distances from the Institute are indicated: »NITP. Since 4- and 5-star hotels are beyond the price range of academics we have not listed these. Note: prices listed are very likely out-of-date because the information on this page is not updated except at the request of the establishments mentioned, and many have not been amended since 1995. Please check current prices directly when making a booking.
