The Henry Jones Art Hotel

The Henry Jones Art Hotel occupies a collection of historic 1820s warehouses on Hobart’s waterfront, once part of the former IXL jam factory. The buildings have been transformed into Australia’s first dedicated art hotel, combining the industrial heritage of the site with an extensive collection of approximately 500 original and contemporary Tasmanian artworks.

Original sandstone walls, exposed brickwork and timber beams remain integral to the property, while individually designed guest rooms introduce contemporary comforts within the historic structures. Selected rooms and suites feature harbour views, private balconies and spa baths, with the differences between the original buildings giving each accommodation category its own character.

Art is central to the experience, with gallery style corridors and public spaces showcasing works by established and emerging Tasmanian artists. Guests can also experience Tasmania’s food and wine without leaving the hotel, with Landscape Restaurant providing refined onsite dining and the IXL Long Bar offering a relaxed setting for drinks.

The hotel’s position on Hobart’s historic waterfront is another major advantage. Constitution Dock, Salamanca Place, restaurants, galleries and the CBD are all within walking distance, allowing guests to experience the city without relying on transport during their time away from the golf course.

For a Tasmania golf holiday, The Henry Jones Art Hotel provides an excellent Hobart base for travellers seeking more character than a conventional city hotel. 7 Mile Beach Golf Links, Royal Hobart Golf Club and Tasmania Golf Club are all within straightforward driving distance, making it possible to combine several of southern Tasmania’s leading courses with a waterfront city stay.

Valet parking is particularly convenient when travelling with golf clubs and a vehicle, while the onsite restaurant and bar provide an inviting setting to return to after a day on the course. For golfers wanting to combine Tasmania’s golf with its art, history, food and waterfront culture, The Henry Jones offers one of Hobart’s most distinctive accommodation experiences.
