Mercure Launceston

Mercure Launceston is a four-star hotel in Launceston’s CBD, positioned beside City Park at 3 Brisbane Street. Its central location places guests close to the city’s offices, dining, shopping and local attractions, while the park setting gives the accommodation a more open outlook than a typical city-centre stay. Launceston Mall is about a kilometre away, and the railway station, Aurora Stadium and Albert Hall are also within relatively easy walking distance. Cataract Gorge is listed as an eight-kilometre drive from the hotel.

The hotel has 79 rooms, with accommodation ranging from Standard and Classic rooms through to Superior, Deluxe and Premium options. Room layouts include king, queen and selected king-and-single configurations, with some rooms offering views towards the city, hills, park or gardens. The listed room sizes range from 24 to 32 square metres, and the largest configuration accommodates up to three guests. This gives couples, solo travellers and small families a choice of room types, although availability and specific views will depend on the booking selected.

Practical facilities include complimentary parking, free high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, an onsite restaurant, room service and breakfast. Breakfast is offered as either a continental buffet or a full buffet. The hotel is non-smoking and does not allow pets. Its services are presented for both leisure and business travel, with the property located near corporate offices, business precincts and the Launceston Conference Centre. Flexible booking options and corporate rates are also listed for professional travellers.

Mercure Launceston’s appeal is its combination of a CBD base, park outlook and straightforward hotel facilities rather than a resort-style offering. The site describes the rooms as modern and designed around comfort and function, making the property suited to guests who want a convenient base for exploring Launceston or attending to work in the city. The nearby attractions include QVMAG, the Tamar Valley, Woolmers and Brickendon, a lavender farm and Barnbougle Golf, although several of these require a longer drive. The hotel is managed by Natasha Beck and her team, who describe their focus as making guests feel comfortable and cared for during their stay.
