Harbourfront warehouse atelier
Preserved sandstone warehouses and a soaring glass atrium create an airy gallery for hundreds of revolving Tasmanian artworks along Victoria Dock.
“Inside, the 56-room hotel feels intimate and cultured. Nearly 500 pieces of shoppable art, selected by full-time curator Kate Jackson, represent roughly 70 to 80 Tasmanian artists.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The property consists of a series of historic row houses and an old jam factory… to house a cool contemporary hotel and art space.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cray boats bob along Victoria Dock just outside, with Salamanca Place and the MONA ferry at Brooke Street Pier a short walk away.
The rooms
Rough-hewn timber beams and sandstone walls frame Tasmanian art, while translucent glass bathrooms and deep spa tubs appear in select rooms.
The gym
- Gym

Landscape Restaurant & Grill
Steaks and seafood sear over an Asado grill fueled by Tasmanian port casks, surrounded by historic landscape paintings.
At the table
IXL Long Bar serves Tasmanian spirits beneath timber beams, and Jam Packed Café brews morning coffee in the glass atrium.
How it began

The former IXL jam factory honors Sir Henry Jones, who started here at twelve pasting tin labels before building an industrial empire.
