2 Best Hotels in Hobart, Tasmania

Across the street from the old wharves and steps from some of the most exciting restaurants in Hobart, this imposing glass-and-stone building offers sumptuous accommodation in one of the city's best locations. Although it might seem a bit out of place amid Hobart's colonial-era buildings, what it lacks in period charm, it more than makes up for in contemporary sleekness. All rooms are decorated with clean-lined modern furniture and there's 24-hour room service for late night snack attacks. The corner Executive Suite has knockout harbor views.

Despite being part of a big global brand—Ibis Styles falls under the Marriott umbrella—Hobart's Ibis Styles hotel feels surprisingly bespoke. Rooms and common areas include bright bold art, and the colorful ground floor Mr Good Guy restaurant is a fun place to grab a bite. Staff are friendly and attentive and it's an easy walk to the city's big attractions. The top floor rooms have gorgeous views of kunanyi/Mt. Wellington. Rooms are compact but if you're planning to spend more time outside your hotel than inside it's a great value option.
