The Cornwall Hotel

Looking for a truly historic stay in Launceston? Look no further than The Cornwall Hotel. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time, as this magnificent building, constructed in 1824 by John Pascoe Fawkner, is believed to be the oldest brick structure in Launceston and indeed Tasmania. Imagine the history within these walls – it was once Launceston's premier hotel, hosting grand banquets and pivotal public meetings, including the one that sparked the settlement of Melbourne!

While it proudly wears its heritage, The Cornwall Hotel has been thoughtfully refurbished in 2019 to offer all the comforts of a modern stay. You'll find 40 guest rooms that are fresh, comfortably furnished, and genuinely inviting. Plus, you can stay connected with free WiFi throughout the hotel, and there's even a handy on-site laundry.

The location is simply unbeatable for exploring Launceston. You're just a 5-minute stroll to the beautiful City Park, a 10-minute walk to the breathtaking Cataract Gorge, and you'll find yourself right at the doorstep of the city's main shopping precinct. It’s the perfect base for discovering all that Launceston has to offer.
