About Hadley's Orient Hotel
Hadley's Orient Hotel is a heritage hotel on Murray Street in the Hobart city centre, on a site that has taken in guests for close to two centuries. Most of its event rooms are on the ground floor, with the George Cartwright Room upstairs and a boardroom on the second floor. The centre of the hotel is the Atrium, a bright space under a glass roof, filled with greenery, that suits ceremonies, private dinners and cocktail functions for up to 100 standing. It opens onto the Mary Hadley Room, which holds 110 for cocktails or 50 seated, and the Leadlight Room, lit by its original leadlight ceiling. Other choices include the Amy Sherwin Room, with chandeliers, high ceilings and a view of St David's Cathedral, which takes 100 for a cocktail party. The John Webb Room is a big, flexible space that becomes a gallery during the hotel's art prize, and the Howard Hadley Gallery hosts cocktail events for 40 among the artwork. Food comes from the hotel's own kitchen: canapé packages, platters, and two or three course lunches and dinners for seated groups of 20 to 100. Dietary needs are catered for. Drinks packages are offered for groups of more than 20, or the Art Bar can look after your guests. For couples, the hotel offers ceremonies in the Atrium, receptions for up to 120 in the Leadlight and Mary Hadley rooms, private afternoon tea for bridal showers, and engagement parties you can style with your own decorations and music. A dedicated events team handles the planning.
