MACq 01 – Hobart

Opened in June 2017, MACq 01 is one of Hobart’s newest and most unique luxury hotels. Nestled on Hobart’s iconic historic waterfront, MACq 01 hotel offers an immersive storytelling experience, with each room telling a story of one of 114 colourful characters who has influenced the evolution of the Tasmanian culture. Native people to inventors, explorers, convicts and heroes all inspire and connect guests with a meaningful sense of place. With Tasmania’s largest hotel rooms, 27 luxurious suites (some with rooftop terraces) even come with the personal MACq 01 butler service.

A hotel of informal luxury.

At MACq 01, offers a variety of rooms and suites, each characterised by a generous floorplan and high-quality fitout. MACq 01’s style of luxury is relaxed and informal – less about Egyptian cotton sheets and fine crystal glassware and more about comfort, warmth and culture. The giant leather lounge suites may be top-of-the-range, but they were built for afternoon naps – not tea parties.

Stories are to be experienced – it’s all in the delivery.

Connecting guests with the stories of Tasmania underlies everything we do. This is reflected in the hotel amenities and service style, but also take it one step further by offering a Master Storyteller with his team of full-time storytellers.

Adventure with a drink and a full belly.

The ground floor of MACq 01 is home to The Story Bar, Old Wharf Restaurant and an atmospheric Lounge. The Story Bar is inspired by the egalitarian nature of Tasmanian society where class divisions are less obvious, and so offers a drinks list ranging from local draught beer to the very best wine and spirits.
