If the convenience of opening your front door and stepping right out onto Salamanca Square appeals to you, then you can’t do better than Moss Hotel. Consisting of two buildings, number 39’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it entrance is smack bang on Salamanca and number 25 is just one block up. One of the most popular spots in all of Hobart, the area is full of galleries, shops, restaurants, bars, historic tours and of course, the world-famous Saturday markets from 8am. Despite its bustling location, the inside of Moss Hotel is a quiet sanctuary, with some rooms looking onto hanging gardens and others boasting huge green soak tubs.
Time Out tip: Number 39 (the Salamanca Place building) is right on top of The Whaler, a pub boasting one of the best chicken parmigianas in Hobart.
