Black Swan Inn on Barrack

Welcome to The Black Swan Inn, a beautifully restored two-storey heritage retreat in the heart of Hobart’s CBD, thoughtfully reimagined by award-winning Preston Lane architects.

Blending 1800s character with refined contemporary design, this intimate city hideaway features polished concrete floors, original timber floorboards, exposed beams, historic brickwork and remnants of antique wallpaper, all carefully preserved to celebrate the home’s rich history. A generous skylight floods the designer kitchen and luxurious bathroom with natural light, while considered lighting and high-quality furnishings create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere throughout.

The home is bright, airy and wonderfully positioned just steps from Hobart’s best cafés, bars and restaurants. With rare off-street parking included, you can leave the car behind and explore the city entirely on foot.

Enjoy a sleek modern kitchen, walk-in shower, air conditioning and heating, plus thoughtful touches throughout that balance comfort with architectural appeal. The original timber staircase adds further charm, while the laundry is cleverly integrated into the kitchen for convenience.

Whether you’re visiting for work, Dark Mofo, MONA or a Tasmanian food and wine escape, The Black Swan Inn offers a unique blend of heritage soul and modern Tasmanian design in one unforgettable CBD stay.
