The Cornwall Boutique Hotel Claimed 

Stay at The Cornwall Hotel in Launceston and you will be in the centre of town and the centre of history. Built-in 1824 by John Pascoe Fawkner it is believed to be the oldest brick building in Launceston and Tasmania. As Launceston’s leading hotel of the time, it hosted many banquets, balls and public meetings, including the historic meeting in 1834 that led to the settlement of Melbourne. The first stagecoach service between Launceston and Hobart was established in the 1830s and operated between The Cornwall Hotel and Macquarie Hotel in Hobart. The hotel also played a historic role when, in 1860, the Anti-Transportation League met there and passed a bill that eventually led to the end of convict transportation to Tasmania.

Completely refurbished in 2019, The Cornwall of today is a modern boutique hotel that honours its historical heritage. The 40 guest rooms are fresh, comfortably furnished and warmly inviting. Free WiFi is available throughout the hotel and there is also an on-site laundry.

Centrally located in Launceston, The Cornwall Hotel is only 5 minutes from City Park, 10 minutes from Cataract Gorge and close to the city’s major shopping precinct.

Management and staff of The Cornwall Hotel look forward to welcoming you and helping you to experience the heart and history of Launceston.
