Offering lovely views towards Mount Wellington, the 1847 Islington Hotel offers luxurious accommodation with original artwork and precious antiques. Just 5 minutes’ drive from Sullivans Cove, it features a restaurant and landscaped gardens with an infinity-edge pond.

All rooms feature free Wi-Fi and exclusive fabrics designed by Jim Thompson. The marble bathroom includes a bathtub and a separate rainshower. The minibar is free.

Our stay at this lovely and charming hotel was made exceptional by the attention that was given to us by Marc and his capable team. Being greeted by a relaxing cup of tea in the morning room after a long, busy day was just the perfect beginning to our stay. The food was amazing with the quality of the local Tassie produce shining through, and the views - be it from our room or the gorgeous conservatory were simply stunning. The breakfast was included in the room cost and we appreciated the array of delicious options. The turn-down service was a special touch and my husband and I felt pampered and relaxed during our entire stay. A special mention of Marc - he went the extra mile with our requests and made us feel special. We wouldn't hesitate to come back here - especially because of the care extended to us.

    Blends the old world with the modern, great facilities in the room, right on the harbour with plenty of food options nearby. Not your standard boxy hotel room layout, art all throughout, quality interior design and feels relaxing as soon as you arrive. No issues with valet parking, elevator and stairs so good for moving luggage and between floors. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    Boutique hotel in a historic warehouse conversion for which it has won awards. We stayed in Grove balcony room #28 which was very spacious and private with no other rooms on either side. The bathroom and living room is kitted out with designer fixtures and fittings in moss tones which we want for home! The underfloor heating kept hiking gear dry and the water pressure/ rain shower head is one of the best. Grown Alchemist toiletries are provided (which we've also ordered for home).
