Stunning views of Mount Wellington from the glass conservatory
Exceptional personalized service (staff know your name and coffee order)
The 'honesty bar' and complimentary evening treats delivered to your room
快速概覽: A beautiful, quiet sanctuary that nails the 'home' vibe but lacks the full-service amenities (dinner, pool, gym) of a big luxury hotel.
由 @neekitanaidu 評論: I stayed here for a weekend recharge and it was incredible. The view of Mount Wellington from the bathtub is a total game-changer, and the art collection in the lounge is stunning. It feels so private and exclusive—perfect if you need to escape reality for a bit.
住過這裡的客人說
The hype
Reviewers universally adore the breakfast, the art collection, and the peaceful gardens, often calling it a 'home away from home.'
Reality check
The lack of on-site dinner service is a frequent disappointment for guests who just want to stay in after a long day.
You appreciate antiques, original Matisse artworks, and a curated aesthetic
You want a quiet, romantic escape away from the bustle of the CBD
You love a high-end, cooked-to-order breakfast with local produce

Is it walkable to the city center?
Yes, but it's a 20-30 minute walk (approx 2km). The walk into town is downhill; the walk back is uphill.
Is there a gym?
No. There is no fitness center on-site.
Are kids allowed?
No. The Islington is strictly adults-only (18+).

Yes, complimentary on-site parking is available (a rarity in Hobart).
內幕秘訣
✨
Ask for the 'Islington Dream' tea — a custom blend made for the hotel.
✨
Take the Hobart Rivulet walk into town; it's scenic, flat, and starts just near the hotel.
✨
The hotel offers complimentary evening turn-down treats like herbal tea and homemade cookies/chocolates — don't lock your door too early!
出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The air conditioning units in some rooms are locked/centralized, leading to 'clammy' complaints.
💡Bathroom vents in the older section can accumulate dust (missed by housekeeping).
💡The 'infinity pool' in photos is a decorative pond, confusing many guests.
💡Lighting in the heritage rooms is 'moody' (read: dark), making it hard to do makeup or read without a lamp.
💡You can spot platypus in the rivulet nearby if you go at dawn or dusk.
