The hotel from the outside – like building blocks stacked together – in the heart of the historic Hobart waterfront.

Sitting in the lobby next to the central fireplace, under an impressive yellow wave-like roof installation.
The Old Wharf Restaurant on the ground floor.
Hallways made with wood like a deck of a boat.
Quaint old colonial style buildings – neighbours on the harbour. Tasmania is full of these classic structures.
The very comfortable and very large bedrooms.

Modern hotel room features (designer chairs, lamps, laptop fixtures) contrasting with the history of the old wharf building, turned new again.
Highs & Lows
-
The concept of this hotel is very unique. It’s designed to resemble a shipping shed, and embodies some of the diverse character that make up Tasmania’s colourful history. It takes you on a journey, with stories built into every element of the hotel, from the museum like cases holding Aboriginal artifacts, to the old newspaper clippings hanging from hotel bar. You will even hear convicts yelling at you in the elevator on the way to your room. It’s certainly an experience.
-
There is a pillow service that you can call from your room. Dial nine to order a different size pillow from the pillow menu, pretty lavish.
-
The location doesn’t get much better than this in Hobart.
-
Valet parking is a real bonus around here.
-
The bigger the hotel, the less warm and friendly it feels. This is a sense that you are very anonymous here.
