ABOUT THE EMBER

An Intimate Boutique Hotel in Launceston

The Ember is a new boutique hotel in the heart of Launceston, Tasmania, locally owned and operated. Reimagined within the walls of a former Methodist church, it’s rich in character and layered with detail, brought to life by Tasmanian trades, makers and craftspeople. The result is a stay with deep roots in its history and a character all its own, quite unlike anything you’d expect from a Tasmanian hotel.

For adults

Fifteen Intimate Rooms

Each of our fifteen rooms is named after a constellation and shaped by the original layout of the church. They’re intentionally intimate, designed for slowing right down. Close the door, lower the lights, pour a glass and let the day fall away.

THE STAY BEYOND YOUR DOOR

Our shared spaces are designed for conversation, connection and a quiet glass of wine. Take your time, settle in and enjoy the architecture of the building up close.

Fireside Common Rooms

Relax by the fire, surrounded by Murray Red walls, stone and timber detailing and original stained-glass windows. Our upper and lower common rooms are the place for a drink and an unhurried conversation.

The Deck

An open-air deck off the upper common room, perfect for evenings under the Launceston sky and a little stargazing.

The Ember Collection

Our small library brings together books by Tasmanian authors about this beautiful state, from landscape photography to food and wine guides. Pick one up and lose an hour by the fire.

Earth. Fire. Sky.

Every detail at The Ember has been carefully considered, from the stone and deep red walls to the cloud-painted ceilings and rooms named after constellations. Wherever you look, there’s something to take in.

EARTH. FIRE. SKY.

Stone, clay and brick. Fireplaces and deep reds. Sky windows, cloud ceilings and rooms named for the stars.
