The Islington Luxury Hotel Hobart Tasmania
Australia
The Islington is a small luxury
Hotel in a peaceful location approximately 1.5 kilometres from
central Hobart Tasmania. Islington appeals to those who want the
very best in life, surrounded by great service, presented in an
atmosphere of serenity, luxury and tranquility.
Built in 1847, Islington is a
fine example of Regency architecture recently restored to showcase
its original glory and up-dated to include the little necessities
and amenities our forebears over-looked, such as a mountain-view
pavilion and a fine wine cellar.
Upon arrival, the portico-ed
entrance opens into an expansive marble floored hallway from which
extends a library stocked with the aforementioned Louisa Anne
Meredith illustrated books on early Tasmania, a drawing room for
the taking of tea and a morning room where the sun shines by day
and the log fires crackle by night.
Opening from the hall is the
centre piece of the hotel, the conservatory, that adjoins the
country kitchen and extends onto a marble paved terrace, beyond
which is a 35 sq metre reflecting infinity pond, a mountain view
pavilion and, towering in the background, the ever changing beauty
of Mt Wellington.
Wander through the extensive
gardens, populated by a landmark willow over 100 years old, a
mulberry tree, cherry blossom and an ancient yew set amid
plantings of exotic blooms designed by renowned garden landscaper
Andrew Pfeiffer
ROOMS:
Eleven rooms in total, comprising two Garden deluxe rooms, four
Garden rooms, and a Courtyard room with its own courtyard make
glorious use of the garden with many rooms opening out through
French doors to the rhododendron and azalea gardens.
In the residence, the four bedrooms are sumptuously outfitted in
fabulous fabrics, fine antiques and deeply comfortable Islington
Angel beds that guests never wish to leave. Each room has a very
distinctive design flourish, celebrating one of the many early
Tasmanians who provided inspiration for the hotel.
