Pros:

The front desk staff were absolutely amazing, the man who checked us is seems to genuinely love his job.

Pros:

The valet parking service was really nice. Also the room is spacious, clean, new and quite.

Cons:

Even the largest size slippers were a bit too small. The laundry is not 24 hrs. So basically you cannot go anywhere in the daytime if you really want to wash your clothes. But for tourists, you would be doing some sightseeing and only come back at night.

Bathroom, no door on the shower - very odd and cold. Room wasn't cleaned particularly well, especially bathrooms. Food options for kids were very average.

Quite simply, one of my favourite hotels in the world — beautifully designed, effortlessly luxurious and a truly special
Pros:

MACq 01 is genuinely one of my favourite hotels in the world. I loved absolutely everything about our stay — the beautiful design, the waterfront location, the atmosphere, the rooms, the wonderful staff and the attention to detail throughout. It feels luxurious without being pretentious, and has such a strong sense of place and connection to Tasmania. Every detail feels considered. I’ve stayed in many beautiful hotels around the world, and MACq 01 remains one I would return to again and again. An exceptional hotel and a very special stay.
