About Hotels in Hobart
Hobart is one of Australia's most distinctive and rewarding cities, combining the world-class exhibitions of MONA, the bustling stalls of Salamanca Market, and a food and whisky scene that punches well above its weight. Whether you're hiking the dolerite columns of Mount Wellington, catching a game at Blundstone Arena, or exploring the convict heritage of Battery Point, Tasmania's capital is endlessly compelling.
From sleek waterfront hotels on Sullivan's Cove to charming boutique stays in the historic streets of Battery Point, Hobart's accommodation scene suits every style and budget. The compact city centre is highly walkable, and the Metro Tasmania bus network connects the wider suburbs with ease.
Where to Stay in Hobart
CBD & Waterfront
Hobart's central hub and the ideal base for first-time visitors. Salamanca Place, the Museum of Old and New Art ferry, and the lively Elizabeth Street dining precinct are all within easy walking distance.
Battery Point
Hobart's most elegant and historic quarter, lined with Georgian cottages and fine-dining restaurants. Perfect for travellers seeking upscale boutique accommodation with a refined, heritage atmosphere close to the waterfront.
North Hobart
A creative, independently spirited strip bursting with independent cinemas, eclectic bars, and some of the city's best casual restaurants. Great for travellers who want a lively local neighbourhood feel away from the tourist crowds.
Sandy Bay
A quieter, leafy residential suburb popular with those after a more relaxed pace. Good-value accommodation, easy access to the University of Tasmania, and pleasant walks along the Derwent River foreshore.
Airport and Transport Guide
Hobart is served by Hobart Airport (HBA), located approximately 17 kilometres east of the city centre in Cambridge. There is no rail link; the primary connection is via the Hobart Airport Shuttle (SkyBus), which runs regularly between the airport and the city centre in around 20–25 minutes. Taxis and rideshares are also available around the clock from the terminal forecourt.
Within Hobart, Metro Tasmania operates the city's bus network, covering the CBD and surrounding suburbs. The Greencard reloadable smart card offers discounted fares compared to cash and is the best option for visitors staying several days. A metered taxi from the airport to the CBD costs approximately AUD 40–55. Uber operates throughout Hobart and is generally slightly cheaper than taxis for short city journeys.
Tips for Finding the Best Hotel Deal in Hobart
- Book at least 6–8 weeks ahead for stays during Dark Mofo in June or the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race in late December, when hotels fill extremely fast.
- Neighbourhoods such as North Hobart and Sandy Bay offer more affordable nightly rates than the waterfront, with regular Metro Tasmania bus connections to the city centre.
- Look for hotels and guesthouses that include breakfast — Hobart's café scene is excellent, but a good hotel breakfast saves both time and money during busy sightseeing days.
- Choose free cancellation rates where possible, as Hobart hotel demand can shift quickly around festival announcements and last-minute event additions to the cultural calendar.
- Midweek stays from Tuesday to Thursday tend to be noticeably cheaper in Hobart than weekend nights, particularly at waterfront and CBD properties popular with leisure travellers.
- Enrol in loyalty programmes with chains well represented in Hobart — Accor has a strong local presence through its Novotel and Mercure properties and regularly offers member discounts.
When to Visit Hobart for Lower Prices
Summer (High Season)
December to February is Hobart's peak season, drawing visitors for the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, Taste of Tasmania festival, and MONA FOMA. Expect the highest hotel rates and book well in advance to secure availability.
Autumn (Value Season)
March to May brings cooler, settled weather, falling crowds, and noticeably reduced hotel prices after the summer peak. The Hobart autumn is mild and attractive, making it an excellent time for exploring MONA and the Huon Valley.
Winter (Low Season)
June to August is Hobart's quietest period for mainstream tourism, though Dark Mofo in June creates a sharp spike. Outside that festival, mid-range hotels can be found for around £70–£110 per night, offering strong value.
Spring (Value Season)
September to November sees improving weather, blooming gardens, and hotel rates that remain well below summer peaks. Tulip season at Table Cape and the warming days make this a comfortable and affordable time to visit Hobart.
