Tent hotel to be opened on old Royal Adelaide Hospital rooftop

The South Australian Government is hoping a luxury rooftop tent hotel will help keep the old Royal Adelaide Hospital site active during its redevelopment.

The old hospital site will be left empty today as SA Health completes its three-day move of staff and patients to the new hospital.

Urban Development Minister Stephen Mullighan said 14 canvas tents would be placed on the old hospital rooftop and helipad later in the year.

Mr Mullighan said the tent hotel would be run by a Victorian group which charges more than $400 a night for the experience in Melbourne.
