Accor has opened Mövenpick Hotel Hobart, the country’s first Mövenpick property, delivering contemporary Swiss hospitality Downunder.
The 221-room warm and contemporary hotel promises to delight guests with Tasmanian nature design-inspired boutique interiors, fine food and wine experiences at Tesoro Modern Italian restaurant, a daily Chocolate Hour, and an assortment of other Mövenpick brand signature offerings.
The Jaws Architects-designed hotel exemplifies Tasmanian contemporary design with richly layered textures and a locally-inspired colour palette. Wall panelling, furniture, fabrics, and colours have been carefully curated to ensure they reflect the rhythm, patterns, movement, and tonal qualities of the Tasmanian landscape.
All guestrooms are situated on floors 3 to 18, with many providing breathtaking panoramic views and connecting guests with Hobart’s spectacular natural setting, while the common areas, designed by global design agency Greymatters, are located on the first two floors.
Guests are welcomed to the hotel in a beautifully appointed lobby on the ground floor, which flows into the hotel’s Tesoro Modern Italian restaurant – positioned to be one of Hobart’s finest food and wine experiences offering guests the very finest in modern Italian cuisine as well as locally inspired signature dishes.
A range of signature Mövenpick brand experiences is also offered at the new Mövenpick Hotel Hobart, including a daily Chocolate Hour, a touch of the brand’s Swiss origins, during which a complimentary sweet treat is served with any chocolate-inspired cocktail, mocktail, or affogato purchase; Healthy Shots, a selection of blended fruit and vegetable shots served at breakfast; and web check-in, a convenient online service for business travellers looking to avoid reception formalities.
Mövenpick Hotel Hobart also boasts a flexible function space for up to 100 guests, which can also be divided into two smaller meeting rooms, along with a pre-event area and full bar, while both business and leisure travellers will enjoy the hotel’s modern gym.
“Mövenpick Hotel Hobart transcends the traditional hotel experience by masterfully blending the brand’s Swiss heritage with a premium hospitality experience,” says Accor Pacific CEO Simon McGrath. “We’re so excited to share this stunning property with guests visiting Hobart from other parts of Tasmania and Australia. Accor is planning more locations for Mövenpick across the Pacific and we believe this premium brand will quickly gain recognition for its culinary and service excellence.”
Hobart’s rich historical and bustling waterfront precinct, along with its renowned culinary culture, is on the doorstep of Mövenpick Hotel Hobart. In just a short stroll, guests can be transported back in time at the historical Salamanca precinct, which is home to one of Australia’s best-known art and craft markets. Within an easy drive, many more memorable moments await, such as experiencing the extraordinary world of MONA, enjoying freshly shucked oysters with award-winning wines, exploring the rich history of Tasmania’s convict past, or simply soaking up Hobart’s spectacular scenery.
