04 Upstairs
Sleep where
the night is
Boutique rooms above the bar, in a building that has been putting people up for the better part of two hundred years.
The rooms
Upstairs at the Star
Star Bar has boutique accommodation upstairs at 113 Charles Street, in the middle of the Launceston CBD. Rooms come with free WiFi, a television and a refrigerator, with the bar and restaurant downstairs and the whole city on foot.
The pitch is simple. You are in the centre of Launceston, in a heritage building, above a kitchen and a bar, and you do not need a car for any of it. Walk to dinner, walk back up the stairs.
The rooms are done in the same language as the rest of the building: brick, brass, warm light and good linen. Old bones, modern comforts, no attempt to pretend it is 1828 in there.
