Police are treating as suspicious the death of a woman whose body was found in an Adelaide hotel.
POLICE say a woman found murdered inside a hotel room on Adelaide's nightclub strip may have been staying in the city as a sex worker.
Management at the Grand Chancellor Hotel on Hindley St noticed water flowing from a room on the 12th floor into the hallway and a room below about 8.35am.
Major Crime Detective Inspector Greg Hutchins said paramedics immediately alerted police after finding the woman's body inside the room.
"There are obvious signs of violence which made it quite obvious right from the start that we were dealing with a murder," he said.
"She was not in the bath, but I cannot elaborate on where she was ... unfortunately I cannot give you the cause of death at this time, other than to say the death is suspicious and has been declared a major crime."

Insp Hutchins said the Asian woman was believed to have been 26 years old and from Sydney.
Police have declared the death a major crime and are investigating if the woman was a sex worker.
"We're examining the possibility that she was working in that industry ... we don't know why this person was the victim of murder," Insp Hutchins said.
Major Crime detectives are trawling through CCTV footage from the hotel and the victim's phone records to establish her movements during her final hours.

Insp Hutchins said it was too early to determine when the woman had been murdered.
"I suspect it would take some time for the water to get to the room below but whether we are talking about half an hour or 12 hours I don't know," he said.
"We are trying to establish where she was last sighted, who she was with and where she was."
Police also towed away two cars parked on Victoria St, about 100m from the crime scene.

One Toyota sedan had its driver's side window still wound down and Insp Hutchins said the owners of those cars were associates of the victims.
"We are examining two cars, they are associated with her, at this time they are not suspects but for full completeness we are examining those cars," he said.
"We are speaking with people at the moment but they are not considered suspects at this stage."
Other guests staying at the hotel said they heard nothing out of the ordinary until a swarm of police converged on the scene this morning.
