A gorgeous hotel, perfectly situated in Salamanca. The staff are lovely and the rooms are superbly appointed. Can't wait for the next one.

Simon M, Brisbane - January 2026

Great location, gorgeous room and so quiet considering the bustle outside. Excellent service from the moment we arrived.

Sutter S, Christchurch - November 2025

A special mention for the hotel staff, who were not only very friendly and welcoming, but helped us with booking very early morning taxis and forwarding items left at the hotel to our next destination - even calling us to confirm dispatch!

Guy H - March 2026

Saturday morning we awoke to all of the stalls having been set up ready for the market. The bed was so comfortable and underfloor heating in the bathroom was a nice touch.

AWARD-WINNING DESIGN

Built with Tasmanian collaborators

Moss Hotel was named Tasmanian Architecture Awards 2020 Winner for Commercial Architecture. The same year, the hotel's visual identity - developed by Studio Ongarato - won the AHEAD Asia 2020 award for Visual Identity.

The hotel was designed by Circa Morris Nunn Architects, Tasmania's leading practice in the conservation and adaptation of historic buildings. Every decision - from the preserved rafters to the hand-painted Italian tiles - was made to honour what these buildings already were.
