Perched between Hobart’s shimmering harbour and the rugged beauty of Mount Wellington, Crowne Plaza Hobart tells a story deeply rooted in the city’s soul — one that celebrates heritage, craftsmanship, community, and sustainability. Every space within the hotel reflects the narrative of a city shaped by nature, history and creative reinvention.
Built on the site of Hobart’s earliest flour mill and marketplace, the hotel stands as a living museum of Tasmanian history. Archaeological artefacts uncovered during construction connect guests to the stories of early settlers and the industries that once thrived here.
The restored Liverpool Street façade serves as a timeless entryway, blending original sandstone and reclaimed timber with modern design — bridging Hobart’s rich past with its contemporary spirit.
Design Inspired by Hobart’s Dual Essence
The interior design draws inspiration from Hobart’s defining natural elements — the harbour and Mount Wellington. Shades of blue and silvery grey reflect the water’s movement, while earthy reds and browns mirror the mountain’s strength.
Locally sourced Tasmanian timber, bespoke furniture, and artwork by local creators embody the city’s vibrant craft and design culture, creating an atmosphere of warmth, authenticity, and modern elegance.
A Modern Commitment to Sustainability
Crowne Plaza Hobart leads with innovation and environmental stewardship, implementing initiatives that reduce its footprint while enhancing the guest experience:
• 💡 Energy-efficient LED lighting and C-Bus smart controls
• 🪵 Bamboo room keys replacing plastic cards
• ☀️ 219 rooftop solar panels, producing over 350,000 kWh of renewable energy and saving 66.5 tons of CO₂ within the first year of installation
• 🧴 Bulk Antipodes amenities in glass bottles, eliminating over 344,000 plastic containers
• 🌱 “A Greener Stay” program rewarding guests with IHG® points for opting out of daily housekeeping
• 📱 Fully digital in-room experience replacing paper and plastic collateral
Beyond environmental impact, the hotel proudly supports local partnerships. Wherever possible, food and products are locally sourced, supporting Tasmania’s producers and artisans.
Crowne Plaza Hobart partners with Loui’s Van through the St Vincent de Paul Society, assisting vulnerable members of the community, and was the first Hobart business to launch SEED’s Container Collection Service. Proceeds from this initiative directly fund critical healthcare research via the Royal Hobart Hospital Research Foundation.
Certified as an IHG “Meetings for Good” property, the hotel integrates sustainability into meetings and events through eco-conscious packages, waste reduction, and resource-efficient setups.
Crowne Plaza Hobart is a dialogue between centuries — where history, art, and innovation converge. It’s more than a hotel; it’s a living story that honours Hobart’s heritage while shaping a sustainable, inspired future for its community and guests.
