Hotels Own Introduction
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.
