Hobart, Tasmania

A Small Luxury Hotels of the World Hotel in Tasmania

For decades, the Islington Hotel has hosted guests, those long gone but not forgotten, who lived and experienced life at Islington, a place where history whispers through the walls and moments in time are woven into every detail. Today, a new chapter unfolds. Our historic property has been reimagined to offer guests a blend of heritage and elegance.

 Tradition meets contemporary in our newly refurbished rooms, the plush, custom designed furnishings invite you to sink in and relax. Outside your window, the same breathtaking views of Mount Wellington stretch out, unchanged, yet somehow more magical than ever.

Wander through our gardens and make your way to the newly revamped restaurant. Here, under soft lighting and warm tones and glass walls, you’ll savour dishes crafted from Tasmania’s finest produce, each ingredient a tribute to the flavours of the land and sea that surround you.

And for those moments when celebrations are called for, our event spaces have been transformed to offer grandeur and intimacy. Whether it’s a wedding, a corporate retreat, or an exclusive gathering, the spirit of the Islington remains welcoming, warm, and unforgettable.

The Islington Hotel has always been more than a place to stay. It’s a story that continues to evolve, a place where past and present meet to create something truly special. A place for you to form your own stories and leave a piece of yours in history. Islington’s new chapter invites you to turn the page

Discover Our Rooms

The Islington Hotel’s 11 boutique rooms offer a distinctive experience, each rich in character and designed to reflect the spirit of early Tasmanians who inspired the hotel. With a blend of modern elements and historical flourishes, every room tells its own tale.

At the heart of each room is a commitment to comfort and elegance. Guests will find themselves adorned by beautiful fabrics and fine antiques, centered around a king-sized Bed Islington, handcrafted exclusively for the hotel by A.H. Beard—Australia’s oldest bedding manufacturer based in southern Tasmania.

Whether enjoying the breathtaking views of Mount Wellington or indulging in the hotel’s facilities, guests are sure to experience a stay that’s both deeply personal and luxuriously memorable.

A Tasmanian Story 

Positioned in South Hobart sits the Islington Hotel, a Tasmanian luxury boutique hotel. With panoramic views of Mount Wellington, the private Islington Hotel offers guests an idyllic location. 

A tranquil destination, stroll through the Islington garden and savour the shifting seasons on sun-drenched terraces or by the crackling fire. Inside, the Library, the Conservatory and the Morning and Rose rooms offer the perfect places to relax.

Foraged from the coastal seas, lush paddocks or forest depths, the Islington Kitchen’s produce is locally, ethically and sustainably sourced. With an emphasis on the best that Tasmania has to offer, the kitchen rises before the sun to ensure that all food is freshly made in-house every day.
