Tasmania has its first Hilton hotel property with the opening this week of DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart.
The new-build 206-room hotel on Macquarie Street in the Tasmanian capital has a heated indoor pool, sauna and gymnasium, as well as two meeting spaces. It is aimed at both business and leisure travellers.
The opening is a joint venture between DoubleTree by Hilton and Fragrance Group Limited.
The new hotel is situated within walking distance to Hobart’s Central Business District, the waterfront, and vibrant Salamanca Place.
The location means guests have easy access to Hobart’s markets, galleries and cafés.
Paul Hutton, area vice-president and head of Australasia for Hilton, said: "We are thrilled to bring the DoubleTree by Hilton experience to Hobart.
"This hotel is not only a testament to our commitment to expanding our footprint in Australasia, but also our dedication to providing exceptional hospitality in prime locations. With the property situated closely to the CBD and the waterfront, our guests will have the best of Hobart right at their doorstep."
Fragrance Group chairman James Koh said: “We are excited to bring yet another new brand offering to Tasmania with the very first Hilton-branded hotel and to deliver DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart, which will be a unique addition to Hobart’s tourism offering."
The signing of DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart comes as the brand surpasses 100 properties in Asia Pacific.
“We know Tasmania has what the world wants, and it is a testament to our exceptional destination offering that a brand as reputable as Hilton has launched here in Hobart,” Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff said.
“Adding more than 200 premium hotel rooms to the state’s landscape will support our tourism sector and help keep our economy strong.”
