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.

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.
