Tasman Hotel

The Tasman 

Little ol’ Hobart recently became home to the very first internationally-esteemed Luxury Collection hotel in Australia - which just topped The World's Top 50 Hotels list - so it’s one not to be missed! Spanning across three adjoined buildings from very different eras — an Art Deco building, the Heritage building and the new Pavillion — The Tasman is anchored on the waterfront in Hobart, with an easy walk to Salamanca, MONA ferries and Hobart’s food scene. The hotel’s very own highly-regarded offerings also mean not having to wander far at all — duck downstairs for an Italian meal at Peppina or cosy into the hotel’s speakeasy bar Mary Mary for a negroni with a Tassie twist.
