About The Henry Jones Art Hotel

The Henry Jones Art Hotel fills a row of old sandstone warehouses on Hunter Street, right on the Hobart waterfront at Sullivans Cove. The buildings were once home to the IXL jam works, and hundreds of pieces by Tasmanian artists now hang through the corridors and public rooms. Several spaces can be booked for events. The IXL Atrium, under a huge glass roof, holds up to 350 guests, and the Atrium Courtyard inside it takes around 150 standing. Upstairs, the Jones & Co Room keeps its original timber work and suits cocktail functions or long banquet tables. Smaller groups can use the Packing Room, a working gallery with room for 80 at cocktails or 40 seated together. The Art Installation Suite takes groups of 25 or fewer, and Landscape Restaurant & Grill has a private dining room and lounge for up to 22. The IXL Long Bar and its courtyard can host pre-dinner drinks and cocktail parties too. The hotel kitchen writes seasonal menus around Tasmanian produce, from working breakfasts and business lunches to canapé receptions, banquets and formal dinners. Menus are adjusted for dietary needs, and wedding couples choose from banquet or canapé options with matching beverage packages. A dedicated coordinator looks after each event from the first conversation through to the day, and site visits are encouraged before booking. Projectors, screens, microphones, sound systems and wi-fi are available, and most spaces can be taken for exclusive use.

Pricing

The hotel doesn't publish event prices. Its events team puts together a tailored proposal once it knows your date, the type of event, guest numbers and any particular requests.

Food

Seasonal menus from the hotel kitchen showcase Tasmanian produce, with working breakfasts, business lunches, canapé receptions, banquets and formal dinners all available.

Wedding menus can be banquet or canapé style, and every menu can be adapted for dietary requirements.

Beverages

Beverage packages are put together for weddings and events. The IXL Long Bar and its courtyard can serve pre-dinner drinks and cocktails for groups, with a list that leans on Tasmanian spirits and wine.

Availability

Spaces are booked through the hotel's events team, who prepare a proposal and assign a coordinator. Popular dates in peak seasons fill early, so it pays to ask well ahead.

Frequently asked questions

How many guests can The Henry Jones Art Hotel host?

The IXL Atrium takes up to 350 guests for large events, and the Atrium Courtyard holds around 150 standing. The Packing Room handles 80 for cocktails or 40 around one table, the Art Installation Suite suits groups of 25 or fewer, and the Landscape private dining room seats up to 22.

Can we hold our wedding ceremony and reception at the hotel?

Yes. Many couples marry in the light-filled IXL Atrium and hold the reception in the Jones & Co Room, moving from vows to drinks to dinner without travelling. The waterfront outside gives plenty of spots for photos.

Is catering done in-house?

Yes. The hotel's chefs build seasonal menus from Tasmanian produce, covering working breakfasts, lunches, cocktail receptions, banquets and formal dinners. Dishes can be changed to suit dietary requirements.

What audio-visual equipment is available?

Projectors, large screens, microphones, sound systems and fast wi-fi are on hand, and printing and copying can be arranged through the business centre. The events team helps with setup and any technical needs.

Can we book a space exclusively and see it first?

Most spaces can be hired exclusively so your group has the room to itself. Site visits are welcome, and a coordinator will walk you through the options, floorplans and layouts before you commit.
