Islington is a new hotel nestled amid ancient gardens in the dress circle of the City of Hobart. With stunning views of Mount Wellington, this luxurious exclusive enclave has but 11 rooms each of distinctive character.
Built in 1847, Islington is a fine example of Regency architecture recently restored to showcase its original glory and updated to include the little luxuries, a Mountain View pavilion and fine wine cellar.
The rooms are large with king or twin bed options, crystal marble bathrooms that glow like jewel boxes and are furnished with imported baths, separate shower stalls and toilets, and brought together by a granite heated floor.
Downstairs the entrance opens into an expansive hallway from which extends a library, a salon and a morning room where the sun shines by day and the log fires crackle by night.
The centre piece of the hotel must be the conservatory that adjoins the country kitchen and opens out to the terrace, beyond which is the reflecting infinity pond, pavilion and towering on the background the grandeur of Mt Wellington.
Late in the afternoon enjoy a glass of Tasmanian wine whilst savouring the setting of the sun. And from here wander through the extensive gardens, populated by a landmark willow tree over 100 years old.
