“An Victorian-era building near Hobart's CBD, housing the oldest continuously operated hotel in Tasmania. Spacious rooms have a retro feel with patterned carpets, striped wallpaper & vintage decor. An elegant bar comes with a grand piano and the restaurant serves regional cuisine. Smart & historic.”

Hadley’s Orient Hotel

Hadley’s encapsulates why a stellar, well-conceived and warmly executed hotel can deliver an experience unlike any self-catered stay. This Victorian-era property is big on whimsical dining spaces, personal service and has an art lovers’ bent – channelled into a permanent gallery and annual painting exhibition.
