MOSS Hotel - 39
Tasmania
At a glance
MOSS Hotel - 39 is a boutique accommodation set within a restored sandstone warehouse at 39 Salamanca Place, Hobart. The building forms part of a two-property hotel that brings together preserved heritage architecture and contemporary interior design. Original structural details, including Georgian proportions, timber and ironwork, give the rooms a sense of place, while the overall mood remains calm and understated.
The hotel is positioned among Salamanca Place’s restaurants, bars, galleries and waterfront attractions. Salamanca Market is within walking distance, as is the ferry service for MONA. The setting suits travellers who want to explore Hobart on foot while keeping a quiet retreat close at hand. It also provides a practical base for a romantic break, a longer weekend or a Tasmania food and wine trip.
Rooms at number 39 include Bower Rooms, Grove Rooms, Grove Balcony rooms and Grove Bath rooms. Bower Rooms pair Georgian character with considered finishes in a quieter part of the hotel. Grove Balcony rooms add a private balcony overlooking Salamanca Place, while Grove Bath rooms centre on a freestanding bath. Grove Rooms provide a full-amenity option with generous natural light and the same restrained design approach.
Each room type has its own character rather than following a single standard layout. Natural materials, modern comforts and the texture of the original warehouse create an intimate atmosphere throughout. The hotel’s foyers, stairways, planted lightwells and quieter corners extend the design beyond the bedrooms, combining sandstone and timber with low lighting.
MOSS Hotel - 39 suits couples, independent travellers and visitors seeking a design-led stay with heritage surroundings. Its location places Hobart’s cultural and waterfront precincts close by, while the room design offers a more peaceful atmosphere away from the activity of Salamanca Place. The result is a compact, characterful base for experiencing the city and returning to a considered space at the end of the day.
