The Islington Hotel -Hobart
Description :
Islington is a new hotel, nestled amid ancient gardens, in the dress circle of the City of Hobart. With stunning views of Mount Wellington, this luxurious exclusive enclave has 11 rooms, each of a distinctive character. Built in 1847, Islington is a fine example of Regency architecture recently restored to showcase its original glory and updated to include the little luxuries and amenities our forebears overlooked, such as ensuite bathrooms, a Mountain View pavilion and fine wine cellar.
About The Property:
The hotel has 11 bedrooms sumptuously outfitted in fabulous fabrics, antiques and deeply restful Tasmanian original king size beds that you will never wish to leave. The rooms are large with king or twin bed options, crystal marble bathrooms that glow like jewel boxes and are furnished with imported baths, separate shower stalls and toilets, and brought together by a granite heated floor. Downstairs the entrance opens into an expansive hallway from which extends a library, a salon and a morning room where the sun shines by day and the log fires crackle by night.
The centre piece of the hotel must be the conservatory that adjoins the country kitchen and opens out to the terrace, beyond which is the reflecting infinity pond, pavilion and towering on the background the grandeur of Mt Wellington. Late in the afternoon enjoy a glass of Tasmanian wine whilst savouring the setting of the sun. And from here wander through the extensive gardens, populated by a landmark willow tree over 100 years old.

Property Location:
Islington is located in the Exclusive Dress Circle of Hobart, Tasmania. Only 10 minutes walking distance to the Towns Centre and waterfront yet it seems worlds away with wonderful views of Mount Wellington and the rolling hills beyond.
Follow the Tasman Highway across the Bridge, proceed on the Highway through the Botanical Gardens and the Queens Domain, staying in the left lane until you reach Sullivans Cove and the Highway becomes Davey Street. Proceed up Davey Street, staying in right hand lane, past the Mercedes dealer on your right. Islington is further up the hill on the right hand side as you get to the crest.
