Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Grand Chancellor

Across the street from the old wharves and steps from some of the most exciting restaurants in Hobart, this imposing glass-and-stone building offers sumptuous accommodation in one of the city's best locations. Although it might seem a bit out of place amid Hobart's colonialism, what it lacks in period charm, it more than makes up for in luxury. All rooms have large wooden desks and thick, white guest bathrobes. Some rooms overlook the harbor.
