Powerhouse Hotel Tamworth by Rydges
Refurbished 5-star rooms and Tesla charging near the CBD
About this stay
Travellers who want a design-led hotel stay rather than a highway motel will find Powerhouse Hotel Tamworth by Rydges built for exactly that, with 81 King rooms and suites refurbished with plush pillow-top beds, bespoke leather bedheads, marble bedside tables and noiseless ceiling fans. Every detail is considered, down to the coffee pod machine, Australian bathroom amenities and protein balls in the minibar, with reverse-cycle air-conditioning and full block-out curtains for a proper night's sleep. The property's own Workshop Kitchen restaurant and Coal Bunker Bar mean dinner does not require leaving the building, while a fitness centre, outdoor pool, spa, sauna and guest laundry cover a full day's routine. Tesla charging stations are a rare find in Tamworth, and the location just minutes from Tamworth CBD keeps restaurants and the Showground close at hand.
- 81 refurbished King rooms and suites

Our take
Powerhouse Hotel Tamworth by Rydges suits travellers who want hotel-grade design and service close to Tamworth CBD, whether that is a couple wanting a proper dinner at Workshop Kitchen or a business traveller who needs 24-hour reception and reliable WiFi. Families after a playground or a budget stay should look elsewhere, since the rooms and amenities here are pitched at a higher price point than the motels around town. Its 9.1 rating across nearly a thousand reviews suggests the refurbishment has paid off.
- ✓Book a King room specifically if space matters, the 81 rooms and suites were refurbished with that upgrade as the focus.
- ✓Charge an electric vehicle overnight if you are driving one, the on-site Tesla charging stations are one of the few in Tamworth.
- ✓Eat at Workshop Kitchen on your first night rather than driving into the CBD, it saves a trip after a long day.
Why we love it
- Refurbished King rooms with marble bathrooms
- Workshop Kitchen restaurant and Coal Bunker Bar on-site
- Tesla charging stations, rare in Tamworth
- A fitness centre, spa and sauna for a full reset
