The Rox Hobart

The Rox Hobart is a boutique accommodation venue at 160/162 Elizabeth Street, positioned in MidTown, one of Hobart’s established inner-city neighbourhoods. Its setting brings together traces of the city’s earlier built environment with a contemporary local scene, creating a stay suited to travellers interested in heritage, architecture, food and neighbourhood culture.

Accommodation is offered in both historical and modern apartments, allowing different styles of stay within the one property. The character of the building is central to the experience, with the accommodation presented as more than a simple overnight base. Heritage elements connect the property with Hobart’s past, while the updated apartments provide a modern counterpart.

Dining is designed around the accommodation rather than a conventional in-house restaurant. Guests have access to room service from a Hobart wine bar, bringing food and drinks into the apartments. This arrangement suits relaxed evenings in, as well as stays built around exploring the city’s restaurants and bars. The venue’s food offering is therefore best understood as wine-bar dining available through in-room service, rather than a standalone dining room at the property.

MidTown adds a distinctly local atmosphere. The surrounding neighbourhood includes cafes, restaurants, late-night venues, art galleries and eclectic shops, giving the area a varied mix of daytime and evening activity. The Rox Hobart works well for visitors who prefer a central urban base with independent local places nearby, while still valuing the character of a heritage property.

The venue also places emphasis on responsible operation and respect for its building, neighbours and broader surroundings. That approach is reflected in the sense of place, where Hobart’s history and present-day culture sit alongside each other. The result is a considered accommodation option for couples, independent travellers and others seeking an apartment-style stay in Tasmania’s capital.
