Hadley's Orient Hotel

Hadley’s Orient Hotel is a heritage boutique hotel at 34 Murray Street in central Hobart, Tasmania. The property combines accommodation, dining, art and event spaces within a setting shaped by Australian art, Tasmanian history and heritage. It suits travellers seeking a characterful base in the city, as well as visitors interested in cultural experiences alongside a hotel stay.

Accommodation ranges from refined Superior Rooms to larger Executive Suites on the top floor. The suites include a separate bedroom, living room and bathroom with a walk-in shower, while the Superior Rooms also feature bathrooms with walk-in showers. The room categories provide options for different styles of stay, from a straightforward Hobart base to more spacious accommodation.

Food and drink are centred around the hotel’s afternoon tea, breakfast and Art Bar offerings. Afternoon tea provides a traditional hotel experience, while breakfast is available for staying guests and other visitors according to hotel arrangements. The Art Bar draws on seasonal Tasmanian flavours, with signature cocktails, beer, wine and tapas-style share plates. The menu format makes the bar suitable for a relaxed drink, a light meal or sharing food in a social setting.

Art is an important part of the hotel’s identity. In-house galleries and the Howard Hadley Gallery connect the accommodation with Australian art, while Hadley’s Art Prize and past exhibitions add a broader cultural dimension. The hotel also presents a Trail of Terrific Tales, giving the property a storytelling element linked to its heritage and character.

Meeting and event facilities support conferences, meetings, weddings and other organised occasions. Group travel is also catered for through the hotel’s accommodation and event services. The central Murray Street location places the property within Hobart’s city area, making it a practical choice for visitors combining accommodation, dining, art and event attendance. Hadley’s Orient Hotel is particularly suited to couples, cultural travellers, small groups and guests looking for a heritage setting rather than a modern, standardised hotel atmosphere.
