MACq 01 Hotel sits on Macquarie Wharf on Hobart’s waterfront in a former shipping shed, a short walk from Salamanca and below kunanyi. It has 114 rooms and suites, each themed on a Tasmanian character in the 114 Doors concept, from Hunter Street and waterfront rooms to corner and waterfront suites.
Dining spans the refined waterfront Old Wharf Restaurant with seasonal Tasmanian produce, the character-cocktail Story Bar, the rare-spirits Evolve Spirits Bar and The Lounge with an open fire and oysters, honouring Tasmanian Aboriginal heritage, with 24/7 room service. There is the Lavada Day Spa with dermal therapies and an IV nutrient lounge. Billed as Australia’s only storytelling hotel, it offers five complimentary Hobart storytelling walking tours and partner experiences from the Maria Island Walk to seaplane flights. Part of Federal Group, it suits travellers wanting an immersive, story-rich, design-forward waterfront stay, from couples to culture, history and food-and-drink enthusiasts.
