About this stay

Stepping into the Islington Hotel is like entering a private estate, where history and modern luxury blend seamlessly. The 1847 building, with its carefully preserved original artwork and precious antiques, creates an atmosphere of refined elegance. Guests can enjoy serene views of Mount Wellington from various points, including the beautifully landscaped gardens that feature a striking infinity-edge pond. Inside, a cozy library with a fireplace invites quiet contemplation, while the on-site restaurant offers a sophisticated dining experience. The hotel's location, a short drive from Sullivans Cove and Salamanca Markets, provides easy access to Hobart's attractions, yet feels like a secluded retreat.

  • Historic luxury hotel
  • Mount Wellington views
  • Infinity-edge pond
  • Spa and wellness services

Our take

Islington Hotel suits travellers who want a luxurious, tranquil escape with historic charm and modern comfort, especially couples and those after wellness. The 1847 building, the garden with its infinity-edge pond and the library with a fireplace create a serene mood. Guests wanting a lively, contemporary hotel scene or child-focused facilities will find the quiet, refined focus less suitable.

  • ✓Book a room with Mount Wellington views for the most scenic experience.
  • ✓Take advantage of the massage services for a truly relaxing stay.
  • ✓Spend an afternoon unwinding in the library by the fireplace with a good book.

Why guests love it

Islington Hotel is a luxurious, tranquil city escape rather than a child-focused stay. The 1847 building has views of Mount Wellington, original artwork and antiques, landscaped gardens with an infinity-edge pond, a restaurant and a library with a fireplace. Massage services and airport transfers are available. About 210 guests rate it 9.4. Our editorial advice for families: choose it for a calm, special stay with older children.
