The Best Hotels in Hobart: Stylish Stays for Your Next Vacay

From moody homes to lush hotels, Hobart has all the luxe and laidback accommodation you are looking for.

Henry Jones Art Hotel

Hobart has a way of making a stay feel cinematic. One moment, you’re tracing sandstone streets and gallery stops, the next you’re ordering a nightcap with kunanyi / Mount Wellington rising in the distance and the harbour close enough to shift the air.

From heritage addresses with serious mood to design-led suites near Salamanca, the best hotels in Hobart do more than give you somewhere to sleep. They shape the trip. Whether you’re booking a weekend away, stretching out a special occasion or planning a local escape, these are the stays worth checking into.

Doubletree by Hilton Hobart

DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart brings a fresh, contemporary stay to the city, pairing sleek interiors with a hint of classic hotel polish. Its 206 rooms frame views of the Derwent River or kunanyi / Mount Wellington, while floor-to-ceiling windows, a heated pool and an on-site restaurant make it an easy base between outings. Positioned just moments from the CBD and waterfront, it places Hobart’s historic streets, dining scene and docks within easy reach.

The Tasman 

If Hobart had a grand hotel romance, it would be The Tasman. Set on Salamanca Place and stitched across three distinct buildings, this waterfront stay pairs old-world glamour with a sharply contemporary edge. Rooms and suites span heritage details, Art Deco lines and modern finishes, while the location places you within easy reach of Salamanca, the MONA ferry and the city’s best dining. Then there’s the in-house drawcard line-up: Peppina for a beautiful Italian feast, and Mary Mary for a late negroni with a distinctly Tasmanian accent.

It is an excellent choice for a slower Hobart escape, with a sense of calm that starts the moment you arrive.

Slow Beam 

In West Hobart, Slow Beam feels less like a place to stay and more like a beautifully composed retreat, where Australian art and design sit in dialogue with the rugged bushland beyond. Designed by Hearth Studio, the home is sculptural yet warm, with each line, material and sightline carefully considered to draw the landscape into the experience. That sense of connection is what makes it so striking, and why Slow Beam has become one of Hobart’s most admired design stays.

Winner of Airbnb’s Best Designed Stay award in 2021, Slow Beam is shaped as much by what lies beyond the glass as what sits within it. Sweeping river and city views unfold alongside framed glimpses of natural sandstone and native surrounds, creating a stay that feels immersive, design-led and deeply connected to place.

Lenna of Hobart 

Lenna of Hobart brings heritage grandeur to beautiful Battery Point, set within a striking 1874 sandstone mansion moments from Salamanca Place and the waterfront. Rooms overlook the park, harbour, or mountain, with family suites and penthouses available for larger groups. Between exploring Hobart’s historic precincts, settle into breakfast at Alexander’s or finish the evening in the Chandelier Lounge Bar, where the setting feels old-world, elegant and softly lit each evening.

Hobart does heritage hotels brilliantly, and Henry Jones Art Hotel remains one of its most compelling. Set within restored IXL jam warehouses on the waterfront, the interiors feature exposed stone, heavy timber beams, and a gallery-worthy collection of contemporary art that runs through the entire property. It feels warm, storied and distinctly Tasmanian, with the harbour right outside and excellent dining within easy walking distance.

The Polaire Suite

The Polaire Suite 

The Polaire Suite is a serene, light-filled escape opposite St David’s Park, moments from Salamanca Place. Inside a restored 1929 building, the self-contained stay pairs minimalist design with local art, herringbone oak floors and soft sub-Antarctic tones. A generous king bedroom, lofty ceilings and north-facing views towards kunanyi / Mount Wellington set the mood. Best of all, guests receive priority access to Institut Polaire downstairs and its Antarctic dry martini.

Moss Hotel 

For a Salamanca stay with soul, Moss Hotel is hard to beat. Tucked into Hobart’s historic waterfront precinct, this boutique address balances heritage bones with botanical detail, local materials and rooms that feel intimate rather than overworked. It places you in a prime position for galleries, bars and long market mornings, yet still feels cocooned once you’re upstairs.

Sitchu Tip: If room 39 is available, take it. The balcony overlooking Salamanca Square is a standout for slow starts and golden-hour drinks before dinner.
