The Signature SUITE
The epitome of grand living at The Islington Hotel is found within the comfort of The Signature Room, a Beidermeier themed suite commanding an entire corner of the original house, whose centre-piece is a huge Austro-Hungarian Empire bed facing the fireplace.
Luxurious furnishings upholstered in lush chocolate silks from Jim Thompson complete the look. On one side French doors lead to the front English inspired garden (the perfect spot to enjoy the all-inclusive, unlimited minibar) while on the other, is a luxurious marble bathroom with heated floor deep bath, separate toilet and rain shower stall.
courtyard SUITE
A private veranda and courtyard are focal points of this gorgeous north facing room decorated in rich caramel, golds and greens. Artwork and antiques complete the décor the highlight of which is the original sandstone stable wall that runs the length of the suite. The Courtyard Room is also available as twin share, we suggest you call us directly for this option.
Wellington SUITEs
Our most popular option - the lovely Wellington Suite. Large, bright and sunny, the Wellington Suites celebrate the beautiful outlook to Mount Wellington. Original pressed-tin ceilings evoke the original character of the room, and French doors open to views of the garden and mountain that gives the room its name.
These suites are located in the post-modern west wing of the property, on the ground floor. Unwind after exploring Hobart and surrounds in your custom-built Islington king bedded suite, featuring a marble bathroom with a rain shower, bath and heated flooring; and enjoy the luxe amenities and local Tasmanian treats included.
Garden SUITES
Located within the post-modern west wing of the lodge, Garden rooms gaze directly up to the mountain through rhododendron and cherry gardens. French doors open directly onto a flagstone terrace leading to the gardens and pond beyond.
Two Garden Rooms are also available as twin share, we suggest you call us directly for this option.
Interiors are serene and relaxing – luxury furnishings in chocolates, tans, sage and gold meld with a luxurious marble bathroom with heated floor, featuring separate rain shower and deep bathtub encased in jewel box marble shoji screen walls.
LOFT SUITE
Tucked away at the top of the stairs is a cosy retreat of a room that is lovingly designed to be the perfect hideaway.
The intimate space is dressed in comfort colours that wrap around you with warmth and love and offers a view through the attic window that takes you straight to the top of the mountain and features an artwork by Matisse.
There’s even a marble bathroom with rain shower and bath tucked into this ingenious space.
