Where to Taste Tasmania's Wine and Food From Launceston to Hobart

"A 56-room boutique hotel housed in a historic Hobart jam factory on the docks, notable for its extensive art collection, its own cocktail bar, café and restaurant, and waterfront location that complements stays focused on dining and culture." - Betsy Andrews

"Henry Jones Art Hotel Australia’s first dedicated art hotel is also a hotbed of history. Set within Hobart’s oldest waterfront warehouses, which served as a jam factory from the 1890s to the 1970s and helped pull the seedy Sullivan’s Cove district out of poverty, the Henry Jones is a stylish blend of existing sandstone walls, wood beams, and tin roofing balanced with modern stainless-steel fixtures, glass bathrooms, and silk accents. More than 500 original paintings, prints, photos, and sculptures by some of Tasmania’s leading contemporary artists fill the property. In keeping with the city’s reputation as a food destination, the hotel is home to two restaurants (one centered on a wood-fired Asado grill), an all-day café, and a rough-luxe cocktail bar that makes an ideal pit-stop after an afternoon spent exploring Hunter Street’s19th-century architecture and harbor views."

The Henry Jones Art Hotel (Hobart, Tasmania) 6 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Tasmania’s known for unspoiled nature, but the port city of Hobart is Australia’s second-oldest. And it’s this old industrial history that the Henry Jones Art Hotel trades on; the property consists of a series of historic row houses and an old jam factory that have been restored to house a cool contemporary hotel and art space displaying hundreds of sculptures, paintings, and installations by Tasmanian artists." - Tablet Hotels

The biggest impact was the unique and interesting architecture of this facility. The history of the building and how it has been leveraged for a modern hotel is remarkable and not often experienced. The location is very good for tourists, near the Salamanca Market, good restuarants, access to the MONA ferry, and so on. Our room was in very good shape, very clean, spacious, quiet, with good WiFi, temp control, and a comfortable bed. It ticks all of the boxes, wrapped in a memorable stylistic statement.

The Henry Jones Art Hotel is absolutely that! There is art everywhere, but it is not only the art that creates the warm ambience, it is the wood and exposed brick, the entire feel of the space. The space is stunning and doesn't feel like a hotel, more like you're staying at a friend's home. The concierge was wonderful! They upgraded my mom and me to a really nice room. We were in Tasmania for my mom's final bucket list trip. The location is incredible, central to everything, we could walk everywhere. We had dinner at their restaurant. It was obviously incredibly convenient and the food was excellent, I'm so glad we booked ahead of time or we probably wouldn't have been able to eat there. I can't say enough great things about the Henry Jones, the cleanliness, service, food, quiet all made for a spectacular stay, we won't forget our experience!

This hotel has so many amazing attributes - location, charm, but most of all, the staff. We ran in to some trouble with an AirBnb that we had booked, and called the HJAH after 9pm on a Saturday night to see if we could book a room. Sebastian was truly amazing in helping us out. On arrival he sorted out our required 3 nights accommodation without any hassles, made sure we had something to eat, and we were able to relax for the remainder of our trip. All other front of house and bar staff we came across were also so kind and professional, it is truly the hotel's greatest attribute. The location is wonderful, and the thoughtful renovation and conservation of the hotel is truly amazing. The gym is small but sufficient, and I had it to myself each time I went there. Lots of great atmosphere - I can't wait to come back.

This was an excellent hotel, in an attractive city. Staff go out of their way to be helpful. Breakfast is fantastic, really interesting menu. Has free history tours, which were very informative. Loved the cocktail flight…3small cocktails, so I didn’t have to choose. I would highly recommend a stay here

We did enjoy our 1 night stay however we felt overall it wasn't value for money compared to other hotels at this price level we have stayed at. Our room was a long way from the lift and up another 2 short flights of stairs and the view was overlooking the potential new stadium. The room itself was nice and bathroom a good size. Staff were very friendly and helpful but we just felt overall it was overpriced.

Perfect central location with a real historic charm. Monica at front of house was very welcoming, attentive and helpful. She went the extra mile to make our stay special. Riya at the IXL bar made some beautiful cocktails and was very hospitable. Enjoyed the very interesting art tour. Lovely hotel.

The Henry Jones is a beautiful hotel right on the wharf. It is located in a great area where it is easy to walk to restaurants, stores, museums, etc. ||The staff is friendly and informative. The breakfast is fantastic and the atmosphere inviting. We didn't make it to the bar, but that looked fun too, with live music.

A stylish hotel in a refurbished old sandstone warehouse and jam factory down on the dock. We stayed for three nights at the end of January-a busy time in Tassie. Pros: -really liked the look and feel of the building and spaces-a cool mix of old and new.. our room on 2nd (really third) and top floor-213- had exposed ancient beams and a metal roof above the soaring ceiling -location in the center of the harbor was a plus with lots of restaurants nearby -I slept well in the firm comfortable bed with great pillows -the quiet, powerful AC got the room nice and cool and was controlled by an intuitive, straightforward thermostat -we had breakfast included in our rate and the buffet included a choice of hot items-my wife like the avo toast with poached eggs and the waffle with fresh seasonable raspberry was also nice -the staff is very helpful and friendly -on-site hotel restaurants and IXL bar were quite nice Opportunities: -our room included breakfast but the 7 am start was a bit late for us one morning -power access by the bed for charging gadgets was limited in our room to a plug in the headboard of the bed-far from ideal spot -Wi-Fi in our room and lobby was rather weak and slow -room was quite dark overall Bottom line: this is a unique and beautiful hotel in a great location with a great staff. While Wi-Fi was well below today's standards, the rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Thank you to April and The Henry Jones Art Hotel for the amazing stay at your home in Hobart. From the time we arrived and welcomed by the team, to a welcome letter in our room from the general manager, local homemade chocolates, teas, honey in our loft, we were fortunate to stay in one of their loft rooms, right off the courtyard. We enjoyed exploring the property - an old jam factory, to 500 pieces of art throughout the hotel. And then to April for everything she took care of seamlessly for our stay, coordinating a local winery tour, tickets and ferry to MONA - everything was perfect for our stay. Truly one of the best hotels I've stayed in the world!

Bored of your average business hotel, this was the perfect antidote to start of our holiday. Combining old world charm with modern facilities and excellent service. The hotel is ideally situated to be able to walk to many of the features of interest in Hobart. The concierge service is excellent and is reminiscent of American quality hotels. Our room overlooked the Harbour which gave us the feeling of being in the heart of things. While away in the lounge bar, sampling the local spirits and beers. And go an splurge on a steak in their hatted landscape restaurant.

Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Every penny. This place is gorgeous. The old sandstone building invites you in. The friendly staff greet you. The Sidney Nolan (and other pieces) that adorne the walls flirt with you, the beautiful rooms with their exposed beams and gorgeous plush beds, ultra modern bathrooms romance you. This place really does have it all. IT is right on the water surrounded by the old IXL jam stores. It looks over the harbour to Salamanca which isabout a 10 minute walk away. Stroll along the waterside to Salamanca where you'll find lovely bars and restaurants and on Sundays, the markets. Breakfast is a choice of a la cart or buffet ($15 pp) or if you're like me and can't make up your mind you can have both for $22 or $25 (can't quite remember but thereabouts). IMHO this is the best hotel in Hobart. If you get the opportunity to stay here - do it.

A really nice and imaginative renovation. The rooms are remarkable, huge and lovely and a little bit quirky and there is art everywhere!. The bathroom appears to be a pod sent down by aliens but it is remarkably efficient and fun to be in. And they have free wifi (unlike most Australia hostelries)! Our only complaint was the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. The concierge never seemed to be at his/her post and the hotel operator never answered the phone so we had to go down to the front desk to request items. With the exception of a quick breakfast before leaving we did not try the food. The location cannot be beat for access to the waterfront, MONA and Salamanca.

Brilliant! Wonderful, comfortable hotel, lovely rooms with beautiful views over the harbour. Lovely little restaurant and coffee shop in an inner courtyard setting. Staff friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

We recently stayed in one of the harbour view rooms and it was a perfect base to explore Hobart. The henry jones hotel is a very old jam factory and the renovation has been so perfectly achieved. The hotel has every modern comfort but hasn't sacrificed any of the wonderful history of the building. The staff here from the concierge, to the hotel cleaners, to the people in the gift shop are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. It really felt like a home away from home. I wish I could give you more than five stars, henry jones, you deserve a galaxy of them

Oh Henry Jones... you and your art and your fancy stuff... I'm in love! The Henry Jones Art Hotel is expensive, lets not mess about here but seriously it is worth it. Their attention to detail, the fantastic service and the gorgeous rooms are amazing. We stayed for a few nights for my husband's birthday and we were treated to gorgeous cocktails in the bar as well as a total standout dinner in the restaurant. The access to the cute little cafes and coffee spaces makes staying here very, very easy. Splurge out for a special weekend, Mr Jones will not disappoint!

We really enjoyed the Henry Jones art hotel, which is located in a refurbished jam factory right on the waterfront. Our travel agent was able to get us a room on the second floor with a great view of the water. Oddly, our window looking out on the great view was dirty and could stand to be cleaned. The window also had a broken bar that had not been repaired. Despite those minor gripes, there were a lot of really good things about the hotel including interesting art pieces everywhere, a very generous shower and bathroom, and a comfortable bed.The location is excellent. We were able to walk to many of the restaurants and attractions that interested us. The front desk staff were helpful, although not entirely efficient or reliable (they told us they booked a reservation for us but the restaurant said we did not have a reservation). Breakfast was good though pricey, a statement that also captures our thoughts about the hotel.

Taste of history in its architecture with the combination of a modern clean cut look. Extremely convenient and a walk away from great restaurants and museum.
