St Peter's Cathedral

St Peter’s Cathedral is one of Adelaide’s most recognisable and historically significant landmarks, located in the heart of North Adelaide, just a 20-minute walk from our hotel. This magnificent Anglican cathedral has been a centrepiece of the city’s skyline since its foundation stone was laid in 1869. Known for its impressive Gothic Revival architecture, St Peter’s Cathedral features twin spires that tower over the surrounding area, intricate stone carvings, and some of the finest examples of stained glass windows in South Australia.

As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by a peaceful and awe-inspiring interior, complete with beautiful vaulted ceilings, carved timber furnishings, and elaborate stone and woodwork that reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The cathedral is renowned for its heritage-listed pipe organ, and visitors may be lucky enough to hear one of the regular organ recitals or choir performances that fill the space with rich, resonant sound.

Beyond its role as a place of worship, St Peter’s Cathedral is also a hub for cultural and community events, hosting concerts, art exhibitions, and public talks throughout the year. Guided tours are often available for those interested in learning more about the cathedral’s history, architecture, and role in Adelaide’s development.

Situated close to other attractions such as the Adelaide Oval, River Torrens, and Botanic Gardens, a visit to St Peter’s Cathedral can easily be combined with a day of exploring the city. Whether you are interested in history, architecture, music, or simply looking for a quiet place to reflect, St Peter’s Cathedral offers a memorable and enriching experience — and it’s just a short and scenic walk from our hotel.
