Crowne Plaza has ushered in a new era with the opening of its latest location in Hobart.
Situated in the heart of the city on Liverpool Street, the 235-room hotel Crowne Plaza Hobart offers harbour or Mount Wellington views from each room, and also includes Hobart’s first Club Lounge.
The typical lounge look has been reimagined to emulate a residence within the hotel, complete with an eclectic mix of custom design furniture and design integrity that speaks to the unique landscape of Hobart.
At a glance:
- Crowne Plaza Hobart has officially opened its doors, offering guests views of the harbour and Mount Wellington, as well as the city's first Club Lounge.
- The opening of the 235-room hotel originally scheduled for March 2020 but was postponed due to recent global events.
- The delay has allowed for the implementation of enhanced cleanliness measures, supported by the global rollout of IHG’s Way of Clean and Clean Promise announced in May.
Guests are greeted by a collection of Tasmanian fine arts which have been curated throughout the hotel’s lobby by local artists, such as Melissa Smith, Jonathan Patridge and Luisa Romeo.
The connection to Tasmanian culture is further showcased throughout the hotel’s interior design, with the harbour city represented through cool shades of blue, silver and grey rolling through the hotel interiors perfectly capturing its fluidity.

In contrast, the hues of Mount Wellington impact the design through warmer, earthy shades of red and brown illuminating the trims and vignettes scattered throughout the property.
Continuing the hotel’s philosophy of local connection, Crowne Plaza Hobart adds to Hobart’s vibrant culinary scene with two restaurants, core restaurant and bar and THE DECK, led by esteemed local Executive Chef, John Churchill.
Chef John instills a powerful farm-to-table philosophy with a focus on small batch suppliers and low waste processes, including a partnership with Macquarie Point’s ‘Edible Precinct’ where organic waste will be dehydrated and composted to fuel the rooftop gardens.

Guests staying at the hotel will enjoy the connected advantages of a modern hotel, with touch-pad controls and sustainable bathroom amenities, as well as stylish touches that echo the Tasmanian landscape and the forestry history seen through timber accents and complementing textures.
Crowne Plaza Hobart will also welcome delegates with six versatile meeting and event spaces that reflect the needs of diverse conferences and events, including a stunning ballroom with natural lighting. Enhanced technology is also offer, including state-of-the-art AV and virtual conference capabilities.
Originally planned to open in March 2020 but postponed due to recent global events, the delayed opening of Crowne Plaza Hobart has allowed for implementation of enhanced cleanliness measures, supported by the global rollout of IHG’s Way of Clean and Clean Promise announced in May.
