The fit-out of The Tasman in Hobart (only 6 star, 'Luxury Collection' Marriott in Australia) is continuing - slowly. In the current environment, any opening before the end of the year would be 'problematical'

.
Although its location is excellent - just above the docks area, Salamanca, parks etc, and a block from right downtown - its location on Davey St to me is problematical. This is the busiest street in Hobart, and the corner location means that traffic noise will be constant. I hope they have put in triple glazing! The site wraps right around the corner of Davey and Murray Sts; the buildings 10 and 12 on the map have gone & been rebuilt, modern.
The view of the Davey St frontage (4 lanes), the main drag through Hobart; docks down to the left:
Earlier Google street view of the right of the above. 2 renovated old colonial buildings - these will be interesting to visit!!
View from down the hill, on Murray St. This will be the main entrance. Parliament House is just to the left. The site has incorporated several old colonial buildings - two as above and the old facade (only) below, the 1930s art-deco building on the corner, plus the new glass additions.
Best room I think would be top floor, of the high bit, looking back over the docks and Salamanca, not over Davey St. Quiet with great views.
