DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart is strategically located within walking distance of Hobart’s Central Business District (CBD), the waterfront, and the lively Salamanca Place. This prime location ensures guests have easy access to the city’s popular markets, galleries, and cafes, making it ideal for both business and leisure travelers.

The hotel will feature 206 well-appointed rooms designed to provide a blend of modern comfort and convenience. Guests can enjoy a variety of amenities including:

Restaurant and Bar: Offering a range of culinary delights.

Meeting Rooms: Two versatile spaces for business meetings and events.

Indoor Swimming Pool: For relaxation and leisure.

State-of-the-Art Fitness Centre: Equipped with modern exercise facilities.

Paul Hutton, Regional Vice President and Head of Australasia at Hilton, expressed his excitement about the new venture, saying, “We are thrilled to bring the DoubleTree by Hilton experience to Hobart. This hotel reflects our commitment to expanding our presence in Australasia and providing exceptional hospitality in prime locations. With our proximity to the CBD and waterfront, our guests will have the best of Hobart right at their doorstep.”

James Koh, Chairman of Fragrance Group, shared his enthusiasm about introducing the Hilton brand to Tasmania. “We are excited to bring yet another new brand offering to Tasmania with the very first Hilton-branded hotel. DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart will be a unique addition to Hobart’s tourism offering. We can’t wait to unveil this exquisite hotel to Tasmanians and those visiting Hobart.”

Tushar Raniga, Regional Development Director for Australasia at Hilton, highlighted the strategic importance of this partnership. “We are delighted to partner with Fragrance Group to bring our award-winning brand DoubleTree by Hilton to Hobart. This signing underscores our strategy of positioning the right brands in the right locations with the right partner. DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart is set to become a landmark in the city, offering our guests a unique and immersive experience of Hobart’s rich culture and history.”

The announcement of DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart comes as the DoubleTree brand surpasses 100 properties in the Asia Pacific region. With nearly 80 additional properties in the pipeline, Hilton aims to exceed 1,000 operating hotels in this region by 2025.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart will significantly contribute to this growth, enhancing Hilton’s footprint and showcasing its dedication to expanding its luxury hospitality offerings in key locations.
