About The Richmond Hotel
The Richmond Hotel sits on Rundle Mall in the heart of the city, in a building first licensed in 1838 and rebuilt in 1927 to an Art Deco design. Upstairs, three function rooms host weddings, milestone celebrations, corporate events and long lunches. The Loft is the main event room, with high ornate ceilings, European marble benches and dark timber floors. One section of it seats 60 or holds 90 standing, while full use stretches to 240 seated or 360 standing, and a covered balcony area opens up with exclusive hire. The Balcony Room has wooden floors, soft lighting and plantation shutters that lead out to a large balcony. It seats 60 or takes 90 standing, with its own bar, a projector, speakers and a microphone. The Atrium, once known as the Winter Garden, has three foliage-filled skylights, hardwood floors, a stage and dimmable lighting. It seats 40 or holds 50 standing and suits micro-weddings and smaller gatherings. Catering runs from canapés and big bites to a share-style feed-me menu, an alternate-drop banquet and grazing boards. Drinks packages run for four hours, and bar tabs on consumption are also available. There is no room hire fee; each space carries a minimum spend that varies by day and session. The building has a lift and accessible bathrooms, and the events team replies to enquiries within one to two days.
