The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Opens Next Month

The Luxury Collection will make its Australian debut with the opening of The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, in Hobart on December 9, 2021.

The opening will invite business travellers to Hobart on a transformative experience inspired by the unique local culture of Australia’s island state. Situated in the historic centre of Hobart, The Tasman will be located on Salamanca Place with an elegant fronting on Murray Street, just steps from the famous Salamanca Markets, St David’s Park, and the vibrant waterfront of Sullivan’s Cove.

Offering a unique architectural experience that blends the site’s historical legacy with a striking modern vision, guests of The Tasman will have a rare opportunity to experience three distinct eras of design within the 152-room hotel brought together by award-winning Australian architects FJMT and interiors by Joseph Pang Design.

The ensemble of buildings that make up The Tasman includes the original 1840s Heritage Building, the Art Deco Building dating back to the 1940s, and the contemporary, glass ensconced Pavilion Building.
