Astor Private Hotel

A rambling central 1920s charmer, the Astor is probably Hobart's most characterful hotel, from the stained-glass windows (and seemingly stained-glass carpets) to the lofty ceilings (complete with ceiling roses) and the irrepressible Tildy, who runs it all like a family home. Older-style rooms have shared bathrooms, which are plentiful, while more recently refurbished rooms have en suites.
