Tasmania has its fair share of standout hotels. The latest to grace the capital is the Crowne Plaza Hobart, a 235-room stunner that unites style and sustainability in equal measure.

At the forefront of the Crowne Plaza brand’s new wave of contemporary design, the property’s interiors are inspired by its setting, featuring Tasmanian fine art pieces from local Handmark Gallery, as well as furnishings that speak of the surrounds in elemental hues of blue, silver and grey – capturing the native forest – and earthy ochre and chocolate, to mirror the hotel’s stellar views of Mount Wellington.

Lofty ambitions

Perhaps the best view of them all is enjoyed from Hobart’s first Club Lounge, a place where guests can linger over happy hour sunset beer, wine and canapés – all complimentary, of course. This is a space designed to make you feel at home, replete with cosy, yet custom-designed, furniture, and eclectic objects that you’d expect to see in an upscale living room, not a hotel.

Wining and dining

The local connection continues in core restaurant and bar a modern Tasmanian degustation dining restaurant and it’s trendy outdoor rooftop bar, The Deck, where farm-to-table produce stars on the menu. As it should in this part of the world, with some of the country’s finest ingredients on its doorstep. Executive chef John Churchill has a penchant for small-batch, sustainable suppliers, and also has a focus on low-waste dining – hence the hotel’s collaboration with the city’s Edible Precinct, which sees organic waste dehydrated and composted.

Room respite

Guest rooms also nod to the city’s surrounds, utilising luxe natural timbers that speak of the state’s forestry history. Virtually every room feature can be controlled via a nifty touch-pad system, while in the bathroom you’ll find sustainable amenities – another step the hotel is taking to protect the planet.

Meet with confidence

Hosting a Hobart event? The Crowne Plaza comes with six versatile meeting and event spaces, including a spacious ballroom with natural lighting. Enhanced technology is also on offer, including state-of-the-art AV and virtual conference capabilities.

Throughout, guests can rest assured that cleanliness measures are top of mind, supported by the global rollout of IHG’s ‘Way of Clean’ and ‘Clean Promise’ – guarantees that every space will be sanitised to the highest standards, and that social distancing will be front of mind whether you’re checking in or attending an event.
