Renowned for its spacious rooms, genuine local atmosphere and friendly hospitality, The Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel has been a mainstay of the Hobart accommodation scene for nearly 30 years.

Alongside a range of hotel amenities including Baaa Bar, Stockmans Restaurant and on-site car parking, The Old Woolstore offers modern, 4.5star, self-contained apartments and hotel rooms.

Steeped in local history and within a few minutes walk of the waterfront, Salamanca Place and CBD, you will experience a warm welcome and enjoyable stay at The Old Woolstore.

Stay surrounded by Hobart's industrial past -

From 1900 the top floor of the building was used for wool treatment and, therefore, required the natural light offered by the striking saw-tooth roofline. This style of roofing allowed the maximum amount of light into the room for the weaver’s benefit.
 
In later years, the area was used for storage of other agricultural products. Farmers could drive their vehicles in one double door, deliver or receive their goods and then drive out the other. These double doors form part of the restored exterior.
 
The National Trust has listed the parts of the building as being of historic importance and as such, both the facade and the saw-tooth roofline are features that must remain in tact. The Old Woolstore was awarded “Best Redeveloped Industrial Building” in 1997 by the Trust.

The original floors have been maintained and, rather than destroy original equipment used at the wool store, many have been retained and incorporated as features in the corridors and common areas of the apartment hotel.
