Step back in time and indulge in the lavish charm of the Regency era at this luxury boutique hotel, The Islington Hobart. Built in 1847, this stunning 11-room property is catered exclusively for adults, promising an oasis of tranquility and refinement.
It cleverly combines the past with modern amenities and impressive artworks from various parts of the world as well an impressive extension to the original once private manor.
Despite being located in South Hobart, away from the hustle of Hobart city life, the hotel is still so close to the lively Salamanca that guests can stroll over to immerse themselves in the vibrant local culture wholeheartedly. The sheer grandeur of this hotel immediately brings to mind the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the world tag it wears with pride. Furthermore, the sprawling and breathtaking natural landscapes that abound in the surrounding areas make it the perfect deal for outdoor enthusiasts who love nothing more than a good hike to help them unwind.
During your time in house, feel free to wander manicured gardens or join various tours to discover original etchings by David Hockney, lithographs by Brett Whiteley and a painting by Matisse, among hundreds of other incredible pieces.
You can spend your time in the elegant shared spaces such as the serene Library or the gracefully-designed Rose and Morning rooms.
The Conservatory Restaurant is at the heart of the hotel, where the double-height windows allow you to feast your eyes upon the picturesque views of Mt. Wellington and the rambling kitchen gardens, while you indulge in the deliciously scrumptious meals. Guests are welcomed to enjoy fresh baked pastries and treats at their leisure in this space too... when no on is looking, of course!
