About The Marryatville Hotel

The Marryatville Hotel is a corner pub on Kensington Road in Marryatville, in Adelaide's inner east, with a bistro, alfresco area and bars on the ground floor. Its function rooms are on the first floor, reached by stairs or a lift, so a party has its own floor away from the public bar. There are two rooms upstairs. The Kensington Room is the larger one, a bright space that opens onto a generous stretch of balcony, and it takes 50 seated or 100 standing. The Marryat Room has tall windows and an open fireplace that comes into its own in winter, with space for 40 seated or 80 standing. Open the two rooms into one and the floor holds up to 100 seated or 250 for a cocktail party. Both rooms share the balcony and sit beside an upstairs bar, and each has built-in speakers you can plug a device into, plus a cordless microphone and Wi-Fi. Room hire is $250 for four hours for either room, or $400 for both, and a minimum spend and food package apply. Canapés start at five pieces for $40 per person and the share table is also $40 per person. Plated dinners run from $65 per person for two courses up to a $120 per person degustation. Drinks can go on a bar tab with a limit you set, be paid by guests as they go, or be covered by a beverage package from $45 per person for four hours. Functions wrap up by midnight, and 18th and 21st parties of more than 70 guests need a security guard.
