Where warehouse walls become your room
Moss Hotel occupies two sandstone warehouses on Salamanca Place - number 25, built in 1841 by Bernard Walford, and number 39, built in 1832 by Thomas Hewitt. The original rafters, ironwork, and Georgian character of both buildings are beautifully preserved across our heritage rooms.

Moss is not just six rooms. The foyers, stairwells, planted lightwells, and quiet corners carry the same mix of sandstone, timber, and low-lit calm that defines the stay.

Great location, gorgeous room and so quiet considering the bustle outside. Excellent service from the moment we arrived.
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!
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.
25 SALAMANCA PLACE
Step outside and Hobart opens up
Salamanca Market, the waterfront, galleries, and some of Hobart's best restaurants are all within a short walk of the hotel.
Stay in the heritage heart of Salamanca Place, with the city at your feet and a quieter room waiting when the day is done.
