Novotel Hotel Opens in Devonport, Tasmania

(11/10/22)  Accor has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Tasmania with the opening of the Novotel Devonport.

The hotel boasts a waterfront location overlooking the Mersey River, just a stone’s throw from the Spirit of Tasmania terminal, and offers guests a selection of 187 rooms and suites, including standard, superior and deluxe guestrooms with a choice of city or river views, along with a selection of executive suites.

The Lyons Architecture-designed hotel was conceptualised to act as an iconic horizontal land bridge, visually connecting the Mersey River to the city of Devonport. The hotel has been designed to seemingly float above its parkland setting as a striking elevated structure propped on sculptural columns.

Coinciding with the hotel’s debut is the opening of the Mr. Good Guy restaurant and bar offering Southeast Asian street-food with a modern twist, and using ingredients from Tasmania.

Other facilities include 24-hour room service, 24-hour fitness centre, a meeting room for up to 20 delegates, and direct access to the Paranaple Convention Centre.

Sarah Derry, Accor Pacific CEO, said, “It is an exciting time for Devonport; the city is on the verge of a tourism boom, with several major infrastructure works underway to revitalise the city. Novotel Devonport represents one of the most significant tourism investments in the region in years in the bustling coastal city of Devonport. Regional Tasmania holds great appeal for visitors and the presence of Novotel Devonport will contribute to the region's ability to attract conferences and events. Novotel Devonport is a celebration of innovative interior design, thoughtful detail and will provide a great culinary experience, caring for guests and the local community.”

There are currently more than 40 Novotel hotels in key metropolitan and leisure destinations across Australia and New Zealand.
