TREEHOUSE ADELAIDE (2026 pre-opening Team)
A Starwood Hotels brand
Treehouse Hotels (part of the Starwood family) creates “grown-up hideouts” that combine a sense of wonder with practical, planet-minded thinking. Our first Australian property, Treehouse Adelaide, is scheduled to open in 2026, and we are now recruiting a Director of Sales & Marketing to help establish the brand locally and drive strong commercial performance from day one.

The hotel will include:
* 248 guest rooms
* A restaurant and bar
