MACq 01 Hotel

Beautiful rooms when gorgeous view overlooking the harbour. Very comfortable beds. The decor was just beautiful and a home away from home comfort feeling. The staff were exceptional, the best service weve had any any hotel we have ever stayed at and we have done a lot of travel. Highly recommend and we will be back! 5 🌟

Simply outstanding on all levels. The staff could not be friendlier. Some of the nicest people we've ever met. Evolve Bar for a relaxing drink and snack was a wise decision. Although our stay on this occasion was only 1 night, we were treated with such amazing generosity. The decor is on point, and our breakfast experience was sublime, to say the least. They have certainly left an impression on us, and we cannot wait to return later this year. Milton & Nora Brownrigg

Location was amazing could see all of harbour. Rooms were perfectly laid out. Bathroom was enormous. Breakfasts had so many choices to order and at the buffet - so many gluten free choices. Cocktail bar was unlimited with wonderful cocktails.

This is a hotel that is beautifully located in the city center and has excellent views of the harbor and bay. The evening view of the city lights is as breathtaking as the morning view. I enjoyed the views from the restaurant during dinner and breakfast as I had a room facing the street, but it did not spoil the experience. On the contrary, it created coziness and privacy. The room is very spacious, the bed is very comfortable, the space is cleverly organized, the color of the walls and the lighting are conducive to relaxation. A few cool design tricks in the decor smoothed out some of the impression of a business-oriented hotel. The hotel is full of people in a hurry, perhaps businesspeople, who were probably not here for relaxation. The external wooden paneling of the walls of the hotel is already faded and shabby, which is understandable - the climate in Hobart is difficult. Check-in and check-out are really instant!

The hotel staff was great, they were very accommodating for my little one and wife. The food was great at the restaurant and liked the early start to breakfast, the staff here were so friendly to my 9 month old which made me more comfortable. The the location and valet parking made the trip easier.

The hotel is nice (albeit expensive) but note that some superior waterfront rooms are quite a bit smaller than others. We are unlucky to have one of the smaller rooms which does not have a sofa - only 1 lounge chair, and not a terribly comfortable one at that. I called guest services to ask if we could get another lounge chair but, unfortunately, this does not seem possible.|Also, as others have noted, there are no chairs on the balconies.|I recommend avoiding rooms 118 and 119.

This is a premium hotel with exceptional service and generous rooms. Well worth the treat. Although not near the hub of waterfront activity, the hotel has numerous dining options. The Continental breakfast (buffet) is great. there were plenty of healthy options.

Really good bed and the room looks amazing . Friendly staff and 6 stars experience! Merry at the reception is really helpful and friendly, also give us good suggestions to where to visit.||||The valet parking staff is very attentive and help us to get our cars and loading and unloading the luggage. Highly recommended

This hotel is located on the harbor and is within walking distance of lots of shops and restaurants in the harbor area, as well as the Saturday morning market. I highly recommend requesting a harbor view room, the sights and sounds are lovely. This hotel offers history tours and every room has a tribute to a historical person of Tasmania. The lighting and decor create a modern and darkly elegant atmosphere. The room was very spacious, with a large bathroom that had heated floors in front of the mirror. There was a bathtub and separate shower and a very large closet area. They offered all amenities you would need and had a nice selection of snacks and drinks, and the bed was very comfortable. This hotel has a downstairs restaurant as well as a tapas restaurant located right next door. They offer a exercise room as well as a self serve laundry or hotel dry cleaning service. But the star service at this hotel are the people. Everyone we met was amazingly kind, attentive and helpful. That service made this a 5 star hotel!

We arrived in Hobart in the middle of summer and stayed at the MACq 01 Hotel. I was stunned by the beautiful layout and architecture that really blends characteristics of the wharf but also that of the natural environment of Tasmania. Walk into the lobby and you'll instantly understand what I'm talking about! There's a beautiful lounge area that allows for guests to grab an afternoon drink. Order from their bar menu and you can get some incredibly savory treats. The charcuterie board was my favorite. Their wine lists feature a lot of local wines and Tasmanian wine is among the best. After checking in, you can take the elevator upstairs to your rooms. Unfortunately they don't air condition the public space but they keep the windows open on both sides. That allows a breeze to come through on either side. However once you step into the room, you can control the thermostat yourself. Each room features a Tasmanian individual. Read about their biography on your door and familiarize yourself with some Tasmanian history! Inside, the rooms are modern, spacious and comfortable eliciting the same response you probably had when you first walked into the lobby. Love the wood they use to decorate and really makes you feel at peace as you stay there. The tap water is safe to drink and much better tasting than anything you can get in the US! The hotel itself is just a 10 min walk to the Salamanca market and about a 15 min walk to anything else downtown in Hobart. There are many restaurants and art galleries around for those looking to take home some local souvenirs. The hotel is also fund raising for the bush fires so you can purchase a plush koala, wombat or tassie devil and all the money goes to charities helping with the ramifications of the wild fires. Internet is available here but really slow and difficult to connect to (encourages you to get out of your room and actually explore Tasmania). I really enjoyed my stay here in Hobart and I look forward to any future opportunities to travel here again!

About 3 months old when we visited, this is the newest hotel in Hobart. It's worth coming here and staying a weekend. Not just for Hobart, which is awesome, but that the whole hotel is themed. It's all about the history of Hobart, with rooms themed to the different characters from Hobart's history. It's a pretty large hotel - get a room facing the harbour if you can - it's a great view. They've made the effort to have storytellers on site as well, which give you a tour of the Hobart area near the hotel - we attended one of these which was exceptionally well done. The food both in the restaurant and breakfast is exceptional, so if you are staying here (or nearby), try it out. It's also not as busy as some of the restaurants nearby (not as well known yet) so a good option. Highly recommended.

Stayed 4 nights. Gorgeous location. Great location/view on the harbor. Brand new, modern, stylish. I love that they have free valet and that each room has a balcony. Within walking distance to most things. The rooms are beautiful and have a great mini bar. HD TV with a Bose speaker to hook your electronics up. Plenty of outlets. Super comfortable bed. Soundproof room. Friendly and attentive staff. Great food options in the hotel if you don't want to go out. Best part: They have these amazing heavy weight robes! I'm thinking of buying one to take home. Cons: The bathroom has terrible lighting. They provided a lighted mirror, but it was difficult to apply my makeup and there was no mirror outside of the bathroom that was any better.

The storytelling tour of Hobart is one of the most amazing tours I have ever taken. Justin, the master storyteller, was a tour de force, with wonderful, entertaining stories. We could have listened to him all day! Rmeakable person, amazing tour.
