About Us
Intentionally intimate
LOCALLY OWNED, LOCALLY CRAFTED
The Ember was created to feel deeply connected to Launceston, and unlike anything you’d expect from a Tasmanian stay. Locally owned, created and operated, it has been reimagined within a historic former Methodist church in the heart of the city.
Brought to life by Tasmanian trades, makers and craftspeople, the hotel keeps the building’s original stained glass and historic bones. Around them, we’ve layered dark, atmospheric interiors and fireside common rooms made for slowing down.
Amenities & Services
Our shared spaces are part of the stay, designed to help you slow down, settle in and connect with the history of the building. Each detail has been chosen to make you want to linger a little longer.
Curated Arrival Platter
Every stay at The Ember includes a complimentary cheese platter for two, curated with Tasmanian produce and ready to enjoy as soon as you settle into your room.
Fireside Common Rooms
Our upper and lower common rooms are framed by Murray Red walls, stone and timber, with fires that warm the space as the evening sets in. Come for quiet reflection or a long conversation.
The Ember Collection
A hand-selected shelf of local literature, history and photography, bringing Tasmania to life in words and pictures. Settle in for a quiet hour of reading by the fire.
