The Experience

Welcome to our unique 9-room private hotel, set in a historic residence in Battery Point. This charming old home has been thoughtfully converted to offer a one-of-a-kind experience, distinct from traditional boutique hotels or bed and breakfasts.

We want Grand Vue to feel like your home away from home and invite you to enjoy our guest lounge, dining room, and kitchen during your stay. With a wide range of reading materials and plush, comfortable sofas, the lounge is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring Hobart and its surroundings.

At Grand Vue, we want your stay to feel relaxed, welcoming, and a little bit special.

While we don’t offer a formal breakfast, you’ll find a few thoughtful Tasmanian touches in the guest kitchen each day. We put out a selection of gourmet mueslis, Tasmanian yoghurt, rhubarb compote, fresh fruit, and sweet treats—perfect for a light breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up. Tea and coffee are always available too.

You’re welcome to enjoy these in the dining room overlooking the River Derwent and kunanyi/Mount Wellington, out in the garden, or take a little something back to your room if you’d prefer a quiet start to the day.

We value your privacy, but we’re always nearby if you need anything—whether it’s help with your bags or tips on where to eat, drink, or explore.

Ash, who’s called Tasmania home for over 20 years, and Brock, a proud local, are often around and always happy to help or have a chat.

  • "Seamless blend of heritage charm and contemporary sophistication"

    The Grande Vue Hotel in Battery Point, epitomises the seamless blend of heritage charm and contemporary sophistication. Ash and Brock, have masterfully taken the historical essence and infused their stylish modern flair into the game.

    The attention to detail is impeccable, with environmentally conscious touches like biodegradable coffee pods and a self-service breakfast that not only caters to guests' needs but also minimizes waste. The well-stocked kitchen adds a delightful touch, ensuring guests feel at home.

    Ash and Brock's management sets a high standard for hospitality, in my opinion. I highly recommend The Grande Vue Hotel for its impeccable service, eco-conscious ethos, and unforgettable experience. It's a place Marcel and I will eagerly return too!

  • "Peaceful and quiet and feel like you have the place to yourself"

    What a special place! Ash and Brock have done an incredible job with Grand Vue, from the moment you step in, you feel relaxed and feel like you are staying in a home. It is very peaceful and quiet and feel like you have the place to yourself. They have considered every detail.

    From the the furniture, decor, lighting, artwork, the jazz music that plays in every room, the bedroom details, the kitchen with breakfast supplies and a freshly baked cake or biscuits every day. It's the atmospheric warm feel in this place that is really appreciated. Not to mention the incredible location and views of the water. My partner and I stayed two nights but could of stayed longer.

    We felt this was the perfect scenic spot to base ourselves in Hobert, we loved the fact we could still walk to Hobert and Salamanca as it was only a short walk away and loved walking back to this peaceful spot in Battery Point at the end of the day. We can't wait to come back and stay in this wonderful 5 star hotel. Thank you Ash and Brock!

  • "Rooms are spacious and clean, and the views are incredible overlooking the harbour"

    Incredible! I don't think there is anything else like the Grand Vue Hotel. It isn't a hotel or a B&B it's more like a luxurious home away from home. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the views are incredible overlooking the harbour. It is close to the markets and wharves, and lots of cute restaurants, cafes and pubs close by.

    The first thing people do when they stay is take photos of the hotel and the rooms because it is so beautiful - the attention to detail is exceptional. The kitchen is stocked with coffee and tea, tasty homemade pastries, breakfast cereal and varieties of bread, fruit, yoghurt etc and available at any time of the day so you can eat [breakfast or a snack] whenever you like. We had a late flight out and it was no problem to leave our bags and return at the end of the day for a cup of tea and cake whilst enjoying the view overlooking the harbour from the dining room.

    This gorgeous home is a must when visiting Hobart. Ashley is like your super helpful best friend. Thank you!
