Discover Tasmania’s Treasures at The Tasman
Tasmania's natural beauty, culinary delights, and creative gems are all within reach at The Tasman, an award-winning hotel. Anchored in the waterfront precinct, beneath the embrace of Kunanyi/Mount Wellington, Australia’s first Luxury Collection hotel lies perfectly between Hobart’s city center, the scenic Derwent Harbour, the MONA Ferry terminal, and the iconic Salamanca and Battery Point neighborhoods.

An Architectural Symphony
This Hobart CBD hotel is a masterpiece of understated elegance, blending three distinct eras of design. From the 1840s Georgian heritage to 1940s Art Deco, culminating in a sleek 2020s modern extension, The Tasman is a luxury hotel of architectural distinction. Original sandstone walls contrast with a glass-encased modern prism, seamlessly tying together Hobart’s maritime story with local materials and luxurious finishes.

Heritage Meets Contemporary Luxury
In the Heritage building, original Georgian details have been carefully restored, featuring rooms with original windows, fireplaces, custom furnishings, and unique artwork. The St. David’s Park Suite, the crown jewel of the heritage building, offers a breathtaking view of its namesake park, with exposed sandstone walls and lofty ceilings reminiscent of Hobart’s early seafaring days. The Art Deco rooms are opulent, with rich colors and Blackheart Sassafras ceilings, while rooms in the contemporary Pavilion building feature floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping water views. The premier Aurora Suite boasts a spectacular outdoor terrace overlooking Hobart’s harbor.

Culinary Excellence at The Tasman
Dining at The Tasman is a journey through Tasmania’s rich culinary landscape, featuring locally sourced ingredients. At Peppina, our Italian restaurant, local chef Massimo Mele recreates the warmth of his nonna’s kitchen, with Italian-inspired dishes made from seasonal Tasmanian produce. Deco Lounge, overlooking Parliament Square, offers a refined setting for small plates and a signature High Tea showcasing Tasmanian delicacies. For a speakeasy-inspired experience, visit Mary Mary, where classic cocktails are reimagined with native ingredients and premium Tasmanian spirits.

Great hotels are more than just places to sleep — they’re the backdrop to unexpected adventures, moments of discovery, and stories worth retelling.

Once upon a time on James Street...

It’s the breeze from my balcony that fills my dreams with tropical lanais, though no hammock I’ve ever seen had this thread count. The plan for a morning run? Fading fast. The pool’s quiet call is louder, more persuasive. Can I say I did laps if I simply glided through the water, eyes fixed on the palms and sky? A poolside platter of fruit begins the day with just the right amount of virtue.

But this place offers more than just the pool’s allure. My wandering takes me to an amphitheatre, a grand room, intimate spaces for private dining, and the library — perfect for lingering, working, or simply exhaling. It’s a space where stories pause, pivot, or unfold in new directions. No rush here. The next decision is simple: gym first, then the day spa. A little burn, then the reward.

Where were we?

My massage floated me to a cloud, which morphed into a cabana and a poolside cocktail. Am I dreaming? Perhaps. But don’t pinch me — not yet. Not until I follow the breeze down the staircase to the boutiques waiting beneath the white-brick archways.

As night falls, Hellenika takes center stage, celebrating fresh produce with flavours that transport me far from here. Yamas — cheers to that. The Lobby Bar beckons for a nightcap, drawing in a mix of regulars, travellers, and familiar faces (though it’s impolite to stare). New chapters are ready to begin.
