Founded on Tasmanian culture, and steeped in the rich stories of the region, MACq 01 is Hobart’s newest and quirkiest of luxury hotels. The unique spirit and personality of Tasmanian characters flow throughout your stay at MACq 01 Hotel. This is a journey of people, time and place.
On Macquarie Wharf, Hobart is MACq 01. Located in what was once a bustling wharf market, and then later a giant shipping shed, is a world-class waterfront experience. This unique spot is a storytelling hotel, hinting at the tale of Tasmanian culture.
A neutral palette for all 114 rooms allows for each to be flavoured with unexpected character notes. Each room tells the story of a character that exemplifies a Tasmanian trait, taking you even deeper into the psyche of this intriguing destination. Expect a setting of informal luxury, where everything you touch in the charismatic room is of the highest quality.
Relax in the warmth, intrigue and beautiful waterfront views of your room, or perhaps venture to the various facilities and areas of the hotel. Position yourself in the heart of the hotel, and the storytelling nucleus, the strikingly designed Lounge, or perhaps even enjoy a dinner of fresh Tasmanian produce in the Old Wharf Restaurant. The hotel offers a range of interesting experiences for an additional cost so no matter your interests, MACq 01 offers the perfect base for Tasmanian exploration.
With the River Derwent at its heart, Mount Wellington rising above it and dramatic settler history behind it, Hobart is arguably Australia’s most distinctive city.
Hobart is Tasmania’s capital, and is a pocket-sized modern metropolis but enjoys the tranquillity of a city from a bygone era: its European beginnings are evident everywhere, from quaint settlers’ cottages to the lofty porches of colonial mansions. Once bustling with whalers and entrepreneurs, 19th-century sandstone warehouses now serve as dockside cafes, artist’s studios and restaurants, where you can enjoy excellent cuisine and fine wines.
Hobart is a place of fishing boats, fish punts at the docks, and coffee under the sun-umbrellas where the famous Salamanca Market is held every Saturday. Take a harbour cruise past square-rigged yachts, or drive to the summit of Mount Wellington for a bird’s eye view of islands and estuaries.
The area surrounding Hobart is rich with landscapes and experiences, including the Coal River Valley wineries and Australia’s most famous convict heritage site, Port Arthur.
