The Hotel – Launceston’s slice of Australian history
Originally built in 1824, The Cornwall Historic Hotel is a truly iconic sight and a landmark building in Tasmania. Once the city’s leading hotel, The Cornwall Historic Hotel played a significant part in Australian history. As well as hosting countless banquets, balls and public meetings, this famed hotel was also home to Tasmania’s first stagecoach service between Launceston and Hobart, saw the settlement of Melbourne, Victoria, and was where the Anti-Transportation League met and agreed upon concluding convict transportation to Tasmania.
Possessing the grandeur of its original build, the hotel now offers 40 beautifully refurbished rooms. It’s also exceptionally located for enjoying everything the city has to offer: restaurants, bars, bustling local markets, the river and James Boag’s Brewery are all within walking distance, while the beautiful vineyards, lush countryside and unique Cataract Gorge are just a 10-minute drive away. You’ll be perfectly placed to discover Tasmania Zoo’s 900 acres of private native bushland, just 20 minutes away. You can also head inland to take a walk around Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain (a two-hour drive) or walk between the sea of purple flowers at Bridestowe Lavender Estate, before visiting their café for lavender-infused treats and products (a 45-minute drive away).
