Ross Hotel

Ross Hotel has its own restaurant, serving light dishes and main meals, even offering a kids’ menu. Functions are catered for, with seating for ten in each of the two smaller rooms and up to thirty-two in the main Antler room. A bottle shop on the premises means you can pick up a beverage or two without leaving the hotel, or you can enjoy a drink at the bar.

Breakfast is included in the price of your stay, and there are a number of business services, such as three meeting rooms. Other facilities include a laundry, a limited amount of free parking, a safe at the front desk, luggage storage, a pool table, a jukebox, free newspapers in the lobby, which also has a real fireplace and a television, designated areas for smokers and a garden with plenty of outdoor dining furniture. If you are a wheelchair user, it would be a good idea to contact the hotel staff in advance in order to arrange for a ground-floor room as there is only stair access to the rooms above street level.

Ross Hotel is well placed if you are interested in visiting the historic town, with the famous Ross Bridge, the Ross Visitor Information Centre and the Tasmanian Wool Centre each less than five minutes away on foot. If you are interested in more of the island’s history in the days when it was used as a convict settlement, there is also the fascinating museum: Ross Female Factory, again just about five minutes’ walk from the hotel. Alternatively, Launceston is under an hour away by car, with the airport just forty-five minutes’ drive from here.
