Albert Hall is a twenty room, 3-storey mansion first occupied by William Kyffin Thomas, one of the first European colonists, and part owner of newspapers the Adelaide Observer and Register.
Thomas, who had retired to Glenelg due to ill health, died the
very same year Albert Hall was finished and it passed into the
hands of William Pile. Pile added a magnificent ballroom with
an alcove for musicians. At this time, the property included the
block of land bounded by Kent Street. It became the Oriental
Private Hotel in 1930 and in 1982, a backpackers’ lodge.
In the 1990s it was restored as a private residence and,
more recently, converted into three apartments.
