Tucked into the ground floor of Hilton Motto Adelaide, Hana was designed to feel like a natural extension of the city itself, a café that’s at once grounded in place and full of quiet surprises.

Let’s talk

Inspired by native flora and Adelaide’s layered textures, Hana’s interior is an interplay of softness and structure, from custom lighting to material warmth.

Inspired by Adelaide’s native flora and relaxed rhythm, it offers an all-day welcome to both locals and travellers alike.

From the beginning, we saw Hana as more than a hotel café. It was an opportunity to create a neighbourhood hub. A space shaped by the surrounding landscape wrapped in warmth, and the energy of a city that’s coming into its own. Working in step with Motto’s values, we developed a brand identity that speaks to both community and character. The menu Strategy was developed to flex from causal small plates to lager lunch bites.

Bold floral motifs and a layered, natural palette give the café an easy elegance, while bespoke lighting and soft textures reflect the gentle beauty of native plants. The result is a space that feels alive rooted in the present, open to what’s next, and unmistakably Adelaide.

Key Features

A statement poster that says it all “CAFÉ ALL DAY” is more than a slogan; it’s a lifestyle. Vibrant florals and tonal contrast mirror Hana’s interior palette and warm approachability.

A simple message delivered with charm: Hana’s custom A-frame signage invites passersby with open warmth and quiet confidence, just like the space inside.

Menus that mirror the experience: bold headers, curated simplicity, and a touch of vintage flair reflect Hana’s grounded-yet-fresh café offering, from sunrise to sundown.

Minimal yet expressive. Hana’s café business card blends tactile design with bold typographic presence. The rich “Dahlia” red anchors the brand in place, echoing Adelaide’s warmth and local character.

Takeaway, but make it expressive. Hana’s to-go cups extend the brand story through floral wraps and confident typography, elevating even the smallest guest moment.

Day or night, Hana is always open, expressed playfully through custom coasters that double as brand storytellers. Native floral forms and retro-modern type reinforce the café’s energetic and local spirit.

Lexend typography meets a grounded yet expressive colour palette, from Banksia neutrals to bold Poppy reds, defining Hana’s brand world with clarity and warmth.
