The 110-year-old landmark is known for its premium accommodation, dining, and gin bar in the Adelaide Hills, and for the team, the recognition is incredibly exciting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis recognition is a huge compliment to us at the Stirling,\u201d shared Harry Brasher, Group Marketing &amp; Digital Strategy Manager at Piermount, the team behind the Stirling. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe strive to provide the most authentic experience to our guests and are thrilled with this achievement. It is a testament to the hard\u00a0work of our\u00a0team, who put in endless work to make sure that our\u00a0guests have the\u00a0best experience possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harry says the hotel\u2019s appeal isn\u2019t just about what\u2019s on offer, but also where it\u2019s located.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe the location and aesthetics of the hotel are two big draw cards for us,\u201d Harry says. \u201cStirling is a beautiful village in the Adelaide Hills that is loved dearly by the locals and visitors alike. Our venue ticks a lot of boxes for lots of demographics, and I think that\u2019s a win!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Stirling Hotel is positioned as a gateway to the wider Adelaide Hills wine region, almost becoming a hub for day-trippers and weekenders looking to discover the best of the region. Whether it\u2019s kicking back by the fire during winter or enjoying a cocktail on the deck in the warmer months, the venue delivers a year-round experience.<\/p>\n<p>That adaptability has been key to its evolution. Harry describes the hotel as \u201cever evolving,\u201d with a team that\u2019s constantly refining the offering and staying ahead of industry trends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are always looking for ways to improve the way we do things and make sure that our guests have something to look forward to every time they visit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seasonality also plays a huge role in shaping the experience. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe\u00a0Adelaide Hills provides a perfect backdrop to our beautiful venue. We are fortunate enough up here to really experience all four seasons, which is really lovely for the customer experience. The autumn leaves outside sprinkle our tables, and our open fires create a warm and inviting atmosphere during winter. During summer, it\u2019s\u00a0a great escape from the\u00a0heat of the city, and we have a beautiful deck that is perfect for dining al fresco. Being able to utilise local produce and wines is also a\u00a0great part\u00a0of what makes our venue so\u00a0special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the team isn\u2019t slowing down. A calendar of curated wine dinners, created in collaboration with South Australian wineries, continues to draw crowds, with more events and experiences regularly added to the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>With national recognition now under its belt and a clear focus on continuous evolution, the Stirling Hotel is proving it\u2019s not just a Hills favourite, but one of Australia\u2019s standout regional destinations.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on The Stirling, <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4tYEbTu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Best regional hotel<\/p>\n<p>The Stirling Hotel<br \/>Stirling, South Australia<\/p>\n<p>The Lane Retreat<br \/>Hunter Valley, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Jackalope<br \/>Merricks North, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria<\/p>\n<p>Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains by MGallery Collection<br \/>Leura, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Chateau Elan at the Vintage, Hunter Valley<br \/>Pokolbin, NSW<\/p>\n<p>To read more on Spice\u2019s Hot 100, <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4enWoVq\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4enWoVq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1777493230_296_1.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Share Tweet Share Share Email Spice Magazine has unveiled its highly anticipated Hot 100 Hotels and Venues across&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[395,958,6549,6550],"class_list":{"0":"post-5255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-adelaide","8":"tag-adelaide","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-spice-magazine","11":"tag-the-stirling-hotel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
