1834 Hotels is the latest partner to join the Port Adelaide Football Club.

As a brand new partner of the club, 1834 Hotels will sponsor the Club’s Country membership package as well as provide a sensational Adelaide Oval game day experience with accommodation at the Adelaide Meridien Hotel & Apartments as a prize for this year’s annual member and supporter survey.

Partnering with the Power is a logical step for 1834 Hotels as they operate accommodation and function venues in Adelaide and regional South Australia and are able to provide Port Adelaide’s members, supporters, corporate and community partners with a wide range of services and hospitality.

“As a company with proudly South Australian heritage, 1834 Hotels is excited about forming a new partnership with the Port Adelaide Football Club," Mr Bullock said.

"With its close proximity to Adelaide Oval, the Adelaide Meridien Hotel & Apartments will be a convenient home base for country members who are travelling to Adelaide for matches and we’re thrilled to join forces the Club to support and provide great opportunities to its members and the broader football community.”
