THE EXPERIENCE

The Stay Beyond Your Door

The Ember is a 15-room boutique hotel for adults in the heart of Launceston, Tasmania, created for one- and two-night stays. The shared spaces are as much a part of your stay as your room, so take your time, settle in and let the building reveal itself to you.


Every stay includes a complimentary cheese platter for two on arrival, curated with Tasmanian cheese and produce.


When you’d like a glass to go with it, visit the Larder. It’s stocked with a selection of wines to purchase, ready to pair with your platter or enjoy by the fire in our common rooms.

New Paragraph

A Church, Reimagined

The Ember’s story begins with its building. Set within a restored former Methodist church, the hotel is locally owned, created and operated, and was brought to life by Tasmanian trades and makers.

We’ve kept the building’s most striking features, including the original stained-glass windows that cast colour across our dark, moody interiors. Beneath the church’s soaring ceilings, each of our 15 rooms is named after a constellation, linking the building’s long history with the stay you’re about to have.
