MACq 01 Hotel

MACq 01 sits on Hunter Street right on Hobart's historic waterfront, and bills itself as a storytelling hotel — each room and much of the design is inspired by real characters and tales from Tasmania's rich past. It's a luxury stay with a genuine sense of place, steps from the harbour, Salamanca and the city's best dining.

The appeal goes beyond comfortable rooms: the waterfront location is one of the best in Hobart, and the hotel's narrative theme gives it a character that sets it apart from a standard luxury stay. For visitors wanting to be in the heart of historic Hobart, it's hard to beat for both position and personality.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly delivering a memorable experience for its guests. Room types, rates, dining and availability vary with the season, and Hobart is busiest around major events and over summer, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly well ahead — particularly if you're after a waterfront room or travelling at a peak time.
