First look: Tasmania’s newest design-led hotel opens in Hobart
Owner of Hobart’s newest apartment-style hotel, Richard Doedens, said the aim was to create a property “grounded in its location”.
Drawing on the Central Highlands, Mt Field National Park and Lake St Clair, the property is said to have translated “the colours, textures, and organic forms of the Tasmanian landscape into the guest experience”.
“Our goal was to create a hotel that feels intrinsically connected to Tasmania. The palette, textures and organic forms all draw from the quiet beauty of the eucalypt forests that define so much of the state’s landscape,” Doedens said.
Works by local photographers Elliott and Annalisa Doedens will feature throughout the hotel to shape its visual identity and introduce guests to landscapes they can explore beyond Hobart.
Adina Hobart offers studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, with selected rooms able to interconnect as a three-bedroom configuration. Apartments will include fully equipped kitchens and independently configured spaces to meet a broad range of lesiure and corporate travellers.
Set within the same mixed-use development as the 142-key Vibe Hobart, Adina guests will also have access to Belvedere restaurant and bar, conferencing facilities, a pool, and a gym.
“Apartment-style stays are increasingly important to the visitor economy because they encourage extended travel and support local operators. With both Adina and Vibe now in Hobart, we’re offering travellers more choice, whether they’re here for business, culture, or nature,” said Adina Hobart General Manager, Jamie Capp.
Adina Hobart is owned and developed by Raadas Investments Pty Ltd and operated by TFE Hotels. The interiors were designed by Clifford Rip of Suede Interior Design in collaboration with owners Annalisa and Richard Doedens, Ian Murray from TFE Hotels’ Technical Services, with Chroma Group appointed as builder.
