Macq 01 Hotel, Hobart

Each of the 103 rooms and suites is named after a real character from Tasmania's history, divided into five character traits such as Curious and Creative or Hearty and Resilient. The design, colour tones, and décor change according to the character trait, with rooms like the Lady Jane Franklin suite falling under the Curious & Creative category. Guests in the Premium Waterfront Terrace or Superior Waterfront Room get a balcony with full views of the Derwent Estuary and moored boats.

The in-house restaurant Old Wharf serves refined Tasmanian traditional dishes with ingredients sourced from local producers. The on-site Evolve Spirits Bar holds Tasmania's largest private fossil collection and offers a wide selection of whiskies and gins. An MACq 01 gin experience inspired by iconic Tasmanians is available for guests to book.

Complimentary storytelling tours led by passionate local storytellers are offered to in-house guests. Private cycling adventures exploring wildlife and culture around Maria Island can be arranged through the hotel. Daily live music entertainment takes place at The Story Bar in the evenings.

The hotel sits on Macquarie Wharf in Hobart's CBD with direct views of the Derwent Estuary and Mount Wellington. Major attractions within walking distance include the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), Maritime Museum of Tasmania, and Salamanca Market.
