Crowne Plaza Hobart is at 110 Liverpool Street, in the middle of the city centre and connected to a shopping centre. Salamanca Place and Salamanca Market are each about five minutes on foot, Hobart Town Hall is five and Constitution Dock and Franklin Wharf are about eight. The hotel has 235 rooms, three dining venues, two bars, a rooftop terrace, a fourth-floor deck and a 24-hour gym, and it offers club lounge rooms and suites with city or harbour views. Rooms are generously sized for the city, with standard rooms of about 32 square metres, and 24-hour room service is available. It is a good choice for couples, business travellers and anyone who wants a full-service base at an upper-mid price with the waterfront and the weekend market close at hand.
Location and getting around
Liverpool Street runs through the middle of the city, and the hotel's position puts most of central Hobart within a short walk. Salamanca Place, with its sandstone warehouses, galleries and Saturday market, is about five minutes away, Hobart Town Hall is about five, and Constitution Dock and Franklin Wharf, on the harbour, are about eight. Hobart International Airport is roughly a 17-minute drive, and the Museum of Old and New Art and Cascade Brewery are a short ride away, so a taxi or a tour pick-up from the front of the hotel works well.
The rooms and the feel
There are many room types, from standard rooms with one king bed or two double beds at about 344 square feet, or 32 square metres, to premium corner rooms, junior suites of about 700 square feet, or 65 square metres, and one-bedroom suites of about 807 square feet, or 75 square metres, with city or harbour views.
Club lounge rooms add access to a private lounge. Rooms have air conditioning, rainfall showers, separate sitting areas, large flat screen televisions, electric kettles and laptop-friendly workspaces, and free infant beds are available. If the Derwent River view matters to you, ask for a harbour-view suite when you book.
Facilities
The hotel has two bars, three dining venues and a ballroom, a rooftop terrace and a fourth-floor deck, which are pleasant places to spend an evening, and the gym is open around the clock. Free WiFi is offered, there is a concierge and tour and ticket assistance, and breakfast is available, with a buffet for a fee. The hotel is connected to a shopping centre, which is handy for rainy days and last-minute essentials.
Practical details and who it suits
Valet parking is available at around 40 Australian dollars a night, so check the rate when you book if you are driving. Check-in starts at 3 pm and check-out is at 11 am. The premises are smoke-free and pets are not allowed, other than service animals. Choose the Crowne Plaza for a central, full-service base with generous rooms and rooftop views. If you want a historic waterfront setting rather than a modern hotel, the art hotels on Sullivans Cove in this guide are a better match.
