About Kent Town Hotel
The Kent Town Hotel sits at 76 Rundle Street in Kent Town, just east of the city, and guests can park free under cover. It is a full-service pub with a restaurant, bars, a gaming room and a dedicated functions team. Upstairs, the Ballroom (Function Room 1) has a private bar, a dance floor, a data projector and a lift. It holds 200 for cocktails or 120 seated, and it opens into Function Room 2 for events of up to 300 standing or 250 seated. For something more relaxed, the Balcony Bar has chesterfield couches, open fireplaces and indoor and outdoor seating. You can reserve a section for 30, the full balcony for 60, or take the whole bar and balcony for 80 to 150. Smaller groups have the Green Room, a private space with a fireplace and AV for up to 40, and the Room of Quotes, a ground-floor room with a 110-inch screen for 24. The restaurant can also be booked, and its lift-up glass doors open onto an undercover outdoor table for 50. Catering runs from canapés and grazing boards to alternate-drop and feasting menus, and there are timed beverage packages or a bar tab. The hotel hosts birthdays, 18ths and 21sts, engagements, reunions, weddings and corporate events.
