Les Meilleurs Hôtels de Luxe à Hobart

Australia's first dedicated art hotel, the Henry Jones occupies a converted 19th-century jam and pickle factory on the waterfront with original stone walls and industrial ironwork creating the backdrop for a world-class rotating art collection. Every room is unique, the bar serves exceptional Tasmanian whisky, and the waterfront view at sunrise is one of Hobart's great daily pleasures.
