The Hotel – #1 Hotel in Hobart on TripAdvisor
Having just opened last year, MACq 01 is already the talk of Australia. The hotel’s stylish interiors tell the story of Tasmania - past and present - taking inspiration from the unique spirit and personality that the island has become renowned for. Each artfully designed room also tells the story of a colourful character who exemplifies what it means to be Tasmanian - taking you even deeper into the psyche of this intriguing destination.
Your Room – Stylish with cosy touches
Stay in a Superior Hunter Room (50 sqm) with a private balcony overlooking historic Hunter Street. Decorated in soft and tasteful shades of grey, your accommodation offers a king-sized bed or twin beds, a 55-inch flat screen TV, a bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower, a walk-in wardrobe, a coffee machine and more. Plus enjoy local Coal River Farm Chocolate on arrival and unlimited in-room movies throughout your stay.
Upgrade - For spectacular waterfront views
Upgrade: Stay in a more spacious Superior Waterfront Room (52 to 55 sqm) to wake up to unspoilt waterfront views over Hobart’s Old Wharf. These gorgeous rooms, located on the first and second floors of the hotel, also offer a relaxing deep-soaking tub in the bathroom; the perfect way to relax after days of exploring. See the package options above for further details.
Upgrade: Luxury abounds in the hotel’s 60sqm Premium Waterfront Suite located on the top floor of the hotel and featuring a private terrace with waterfront views. These rooms offer MACq 01 butler service throughout your stay so your every whim is catered for.
The Food – Daily breakfasts included
Start each day with your included daily continental buffet breakfast at the Old Wharf Restaurant, where you can enjoy cold cuts, breads, cheeses, yoghurts, pastries, muesli and more served alongside waterfront views.
Foodies will be in their element at MACq 01. The achingly stylish Lounge – which centres around an incredible fireplace designed by a local stonemason – is the perfect spot to sit and reflect on the day with some Pacific oysters. While the hotel’s on-site Old Wharf Restaurant offers a menu crafted from locally sourced ingredients including gorgeous fresh seafood by the former Head Chef of Saffire Freycinet, Simon Pockran.
See & Do – From MONA to markets
Inside the hotel, head to The Story Bar - a favourite with locals and visitors - for a drink or two overlooking some of the best harbour views in the city. The hotel also hosts storytelling tours of the waterfront so you can hear all about the history and culture of Tassie’s capital.
Beyond the hotel, you can wander down to the waterfront to grab some fish and chips from one of the floating restaurants, sample a tipple or two at Lark Whisky Distillery, hop aboard one of the regular MONA ferries, devour a seafood feast at the Drunken Admiral or taste a local scallop pie from Saturday’s Salamanca Market.
Perfect for couples
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or seasoned Tassie explorer, MACq 01 is perfectly located for harbourside exploring or day trips further afield to discover the area’s many wineries, MONA or Port Arthur.
