The Watson - Hotel Review
"This is Adelaide’s only Art Series hotel – a boutique chain that champions the work of significant Australian artists. The Watson, in Adelaide’s northeastern suburbs, pays tribute to the dynamic creations of Aboriginal elder Tommy Watson. Throughout, prints of his work imbue the property with colour and energy."
