Alabama Hotel is a boutique style, art infused hotel right in the heart of Hobart on 72 Liverpool Street. Originally established in 1867, it was reborn in its current form in 2013 to offer budget friendly accommodation with a fun, quirky vibe. It blends retro character, creative decorating and a friendly, laid back atmosphere that appeals to travellers and locals alike.

Downstairs there is a small bar, a cosy lounge area and a plant filled balcony or beer garden or lounge deck, open daily during the afternoon and early evening. Guests and visitors can enjoy quality coffee, a wide selection of local and imported beers, wines and spirits and a relaxed setting to grab a drink before heading out to dinner or exploring the city.

Upstairs there are 17 individually styled rooms, each with its own character, colourful touches, vintage and retro influences, a fridge in many rooms, heating and a fan for comfort, but with shared bathroom facilities. This keeps the accommodation affordable while still clean, comfortable and central.

The location is superb. Alabama sits just doors away from the Elizabeth Street Mall and within easy walking distance to Hobart’s waterfront, cultural attractions, cafes, restaurants, weekend markets and more. It is a great base if you want central convenience, a no fuss stay and a hospitable, unpretentious vibe.
