Description: Winner of the 2005 Tasmanian Tourism Awards, Luxury Accommodation and New Tourism Development. The Henry Jones Art Hotel sits on the city's historic waterfront and combines the charm of 19th century sandstone warehouses with stylish modern design. Guests sleep within sandstone walls more than one-metre thick, and each room is designed to showcase the building's past. Bathrooms are enclosed in a translucent glass box and feature a range of the latest European elliptical spa baths and double showers. As the name implies, the hotel features the work of local artists and designer makers - both traditional and contemporary. So if you fall in love with a piece of art - you can buy it. The works of up and coming artists from the Tasmanian School of Art, right next door, are also featured in the three-storey glass atrium. The best Tasmanian food and wine are served in the Steampacket Restaurant. The Henry Jones Art Hotel has 50 suites. Room colours complement the mellow sandstone walls and king size beds have deep rich silk coverings and ottomans. Tasmania's historic trading links with the world are reflect in the Peking, Calcutta and Oriental suites. Room to book: The Art Installation Suite. Accolades: In April 2005 Conde Nast Traveller (UK) magazine included the hotel in its Hot List for 2005. In June 2005 the Henry Jones Art Hotel was listed 49 in the Conde Nast Traveller (UK) magazine Top 60 Hotels for 2005. In October 2005 the Hotel was named national winner of the Australian Hotel Association best hotel competition. The hotel is within a five minute walk of the city's cultural and restaurant precinct - Salamanca Place, the Salamanca Arts Centre, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, the Theatre Royal (Australia's oldest), the Maritime Museum of Tasmania, the Federation Concert Hall (home of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra) and Constitution Dock - where the yachts arrive after completing the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race each January. |
