Queens Head Hotel

It is possible to book a room with its own kitchenette, but in others you have at least a refrigerator and an electric kettle. There is also that important lifeline for anyone who needs to be up ready to give a smart presentation in the morning: an iron and an ironing board. You have air conditioning in your non-smoking room, climate-controlled heating, a flat-screen television and free wireless internet.

Queen’s Head Hotel, which you will often see minus its apostrophe i.e. ‘Queens Head Hotel’, has a housekeeping service, while the place really comes into its own for its food, drink and entertainment. Generous servings of pub-style food, with a certain gastronomic flair, are served in the hotel’s modern dining room while in the sports bar, with a pool table, Keno, Ubet and television, a mixture of bottled and draught beers, wines and non-alcoholic drinks are on offer.

You’ll find Queen’s Head Hotel makes a good choice for business events and other functions, seeing as their upstairs function room not only has plenty of space, a stage for a sound system (this is a popular live-music venue after all) and is so close to the bar, but subject to minimum numbers it can even be booked free of charge. That is definitely something to have a chat about with the very friendly management of venue.

As for location, North Hobart is the part of the town the hotel is situated in, so it’s about a quarter of an hour’s drive from HBA Hobart International Airport. Queen’s Domain, home of the wonderful Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, is off to the east, and you’re a few minutes by car from Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Playhouse Theatre and Hobart Town Hall, easily found by heading in a south-easterly direction.
