Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart

Ground Floor/1 Davey Street
Hobart, Tasmania 7000

Spectacular Hobart harbour views are the star of the show at the Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart. From our waterfront vantage point, it is just steps to popular attractions ranging from vibrant Salamanca Place and the markets to charming Battery Point and the MONA Ferry.

Framed by commanding views of Hobart’s waterfront, the Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart is one of the most unique and picturesque event venues in Tasmania. The Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart is home to the Hobart Convention & Exhibition Centre (HCEC), the largest purpose-built conference and events facility in Tasmania. Located at the heart of Hobart’s waterfront, hosting your event at HCEC means you’re in a place that’s truly exceptional.

Things to do

Tasmania’s capital has been pressed into shape by nature.
The city is framed by the rugged figure of kunanyi / Mount Wellington and the flow of the wide River Derwent, with wilderness lingering nearby – just beyond the mountain.

Beyond mountain and river, it’s cultural and dining experiences that thrive in Australia’s second-oldest city. The underground Museum of Old and New Art, aka Mona, looms large in global art circles and on the itineraries of scores of travellers.

The famed Salamanca Market has been a Saturday tradition for more than 50 years, and the city’s food scene is dynamic, with cafes, restaurants and bars transforming Tasmania’s famously fresh produce into refined expressions of place and season.

See Hobart from the water, or on foot around the waterfront, or even from the saddle of a bike on a mountain descent.

Mona

Hobart is downright cool and is home to a burgeoning cultural and arts scene. The famous MONA has created a formidable reputation for its dark and often controversial take on modern art yet it is this type of cutting-edge creativity that has created an energetic and innovative conference and hospitality scene.

Mount Wellington / Kunanyi

If you want to see Hobart and all of its beauty then you need to take yourself up to Mount Wellington (Kunanyi). Only a short drive from the Hotel Grand Chancellor, in minutes, you will be transported to the wilderness, bushland and amazing scenery. You may need to bring some sturdy shoes with you if you're into hiking - as there are some great walking track up there. In particular, the Organ Pipes Circuit is very popular. • Red Decker runs the official shuttle bus for kunanyi/Mt Wellington. This is a great option for guests who are without a car as buses depart daily.

Port Arthur Historic Site

Brutal and barbaric yet exquisitely stunning. Tasmania's convict history has shaped this island in ways that must be experienced to be understood. Port Arthur Historic Site is one worthwhile attraction where you will take a journey back in time.
