Hotel Description
MACq 01 Hotel Hobart is Hobart’s premier luxury waterfront hotel, located directly on the iconic Macquarie Wharf at the edge of Salamanca Place. Purpose-built and proudly Tasmanian, this five-star hotel offers an unmatched combination of location, comfort, and storytelling—making it the standout choice for discerning travellers seeking a premium Hobart hotel experience.
The hotel features 114 spacious waterfront rooms and suites, all designed to maximise views across Sullivan’s Cove, Constitution Dock, and the River Derwent. Floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies in select rooms, king or twin bedding, generous workspaces, and modern bathrooms ensure a high level of comfort throughout. Rooms are quiet, refined, and ideal for couples, golfers, and longer-stay guests who value space and outlook.
MACq 01’s location is a major advantage. Guests are within walking distance of Salamanca Market, Hobart’s best restaurants and bars, Brooke Street Pier, the MONA ferry terminal, and the city’s historic waterfront precinct. For golf travellers, the hotel provides an excellent base for rounds at Royal Hobart Golf Club, Tasmania Golf Club, and Seven Mile Beach, all within an easy drive.
Dining is a key highlight. Old Wharf Restaurant showcases Tasmanian produce with a contemporary menu focused on seafood, premium meats, and seasonal ingredients, while Evolve Spirits Bar offers a relaxed setting for pre-dinner drinks, featuring Tasmanian whiskies, gins, and local wines. Breakfast is served daily and is consistently regarded as one of the best hotel breakfasts in Hobart.
What sets MACq 01 apart is its strong sense of place. Each room is connected to a real Tasmanian historical figure, with subtle storytelling elements that reflect Hobart’s maritime, convict, and entrepreneurial past. This distinctive concept adds depth without being intrusive, reinforcing the hotel’s position as a uniquely Tasmanian luxury property rather than a generic five-star hotel.
Facilities include 24-hour reception, valet parking, concierge services, a fitness centre, and easy access to the waterfront walking track. Service is professional and attentive, making MACq 01 particularly well suited to escorted tours, luxury golf packages, and high-end leisure travellers.
