Hobart: City Hotels and Accommodation
Many of Hobart's most popular accommodation options lie in the centre, which is around 17 km / 10.5 miles west of Hobart International Airport (HBA), connected by the Airporter shuttle bus and inexpensive taxis. With a steady stream of visitors all through the year, the city can become busy at times, particularly around festivals and other local celebrations.
Worth noting, popular events in the city include the Royal Hobart Regatta each February, the Australian Wooden Boat Festivals every other February, the Royal Hobart Show each October, and the Hobart Summer Festival held in December and January. All of these local events prove to be big crowd pullers and nearby accommodation is quick to become fully booked, making advance reservations a necessity.

Situated on the other side of Hobart, the North area and New Town district both offer reasonably priced accommodation, including a wealth of B&Bs and mid-range hotels, all of which are close to dining venues and bars.
