I'm liking the idea of Hobart, haven't been to TAS yet but would love to go.

All depends on what date, otherwise I'm in!
 
I like the idea of Hobart also and would finally like to meet some or all of you who have answered questions over the last few years. :)
 
Also we should try and avoid school holiday dates..
 
I trust someone will advise Hilton of the outcome so they can open a property in HBA in time for the DO. :lol:
 
Is it the Novotel overlooking the wharf in HBA? it should be replete with bookings...

I think you are thinking of the Grand Chancellor ex Sheraton, as far as Hobart goes for Accor it's a Mecure town.

Avoid the Mecure.

Depending on numbers go for the GC.

There are boutique places there, so local advice woud be important.

I lived in various hotels there for a year.

Avoid which one of the three?

I prefer the Oaks on the pier (now Somerset on the Pier), it's the best of an average bunch.

Of the two hotels, Bathurst St. Poor location and run down IMHO.

Hadleys is getting a facelift and the rooms were variable standard when my client stayed there.

The apartments, not sure.

Agree I do like the pier. If you snap it up at a good rate that will be a reasonable choice IMHO.

There are. Lot of conventions and meetings in HBA.
