Nestled on Hobart's historic waterfront, the Henry Jones Art Hotel stands as a breathtaking tribute to Tasmania's rich industrial past and vibrant artistic future. This isn't merely accommodation – it's an immersive cultural experience housed within the beautifully restored walls of the former Henry Jones IXL jam factory.
The moment you step into the grand atrium, you're transported into a living gallery. The hotel proudly showcases the largest private collection of contemporary Tasmanian art, with over 400 original works adorning its walls. Each piece tells a story, creating a dynamic dialogue between the building's heritage and the island's creative spirit.
A Symphony of History and Modern Luxury
The hotel's design masterfully preserves the building's original features – from exposed sandstone walls and wooden beams to the factory's iconic machinery elements. These historical touches blend seamlessly with state-of-the-art amenities, creating spaces that are both evocative and exceptionally comfortable.
Each of the 56 rooms and suites offers a unique artistic journey, featuring different artworks and design elements while providing plush bedding, luxurious bathrooms, and stunning views of the harbour or the hotel's interior courtyard.
Culinary Excellence and Impeccable Service
The Henry Jones experience extends to its culinary offerings. The hotel's restaurants and bars serve exceptional cuisine that highlights Tasmania's world-renowned produce, from freshly caught seafood to local wines and spirits.
What truly sets this establishment apart is its commitment to service. The staff's knowledge of both the hotel's history and Tasmania's hidden gems ensures every guest receives a personalised and memorable stay.
The Perfect Hobart Base
Its location couldn't be more ideal. Situated just moments from the MONA ferry terminal, Salamanca Place, and the bustling harbour, guests have Hobart's premier attractions at their doorstep while returning to a peaceful, art-filled sanctuary.
The Henry Jones Art Hotel has redefined luxury accommodation in Australia, offering more than just a place to sleep – it provides a deep connection to Tasmanian culture, history, and creativity that continues to captivate travellers from around the world.
