Islington Hotel occupies a Regency-era house in South Hobart, with Mount Wellington rising beyond its garden and glass conservatory. Original proportions, fireplaces and antique furniture are layered with contemporary Tasmanian art, creating rooms that feel collected rather than uniformly styled. Breakfast and dinner are served in the conservatory, where the garden and mountain remain part of the dining room, while quieter lounges provide space around the house. The centre of Hobart, Salamanca and the waterfront are a short drive away, but the residential setting keeps the atmosphere removed from the city’s busier hotels. Mature planting encloses the terrace and newer garden rooms.
