Hadley’s Orient Hotel

JUST TURN UP, NO BOOKINGS REQUIRED!

Architects: Walker and Johnston; Bush, Hasluck, Parkes, Shugg and Moon; Viney and Associates (1830s).

Hadley’s Orient Hotel plays host to almost two centuries of stories, scandals, and secrets, ripe for exploration. The floorboards whisper of the hotel’s rich and often tumultuous history. In fact, the halls echo memories of gentlemen’s lunches, nights of cabaret and the most marvellous soirées. It’s true that the very fabric of the property is woven with tales of convicts, entrepreneurs, celebrities-past and countless other patrons of days gone by.

Collect a map from Reception and embark on the self-guided immersive audio tour of the historic Hadley’s Orient Hotel, ‘Trail of Terrific Tales’. Learn where Tasmania’s first roller skating rink opened in 1867, where Roald Amundsen stayed after his South Pole victory, AND how Tasmania’s first ice creams were made in 1850.

Open: Saturday 8 November, 10am-4pm

Note: Please bring your own headphones and digital device to listen to the ‘Trail of Terrific Tales’.
