PEPPERS SILO HOTEL OVERVIEW

A Warm Welcome Awaits

Experience unique luxury accommodation wrapped in an iconic Launceston landmark at Peppers Silo Hotel.

Nestled on the tranquil banks of the beautiful Tamar River, this 4.5-star property is the realised vision of owner and developer Errol Stewart, who has masterfully regenerated four disused grain silos into a striking and sophisticated hotel, delivering a unique and truly immersive experience of local history, without compromising on creature comforts.

The impressive silhouette of the converted silos dominates the surrounding skyline, offering a beacon of hospitality to discerning travellers seeking to escape and indulge in life’s little luxuries. Within the original silos and adjoining new North Tower, beautifully appointed modern rooms and suites have been thoughtfully designed to present an effortless fusion of rich heritage and modern sophistication. Plush interiors, bespoke furnishings and locally sourced décor exude character and warmth, ensuring a cosy and comfortable stay. Within the hotel’s nine storeys, a selection of rooms and suites offer private balconies overlooking the meandering Tamar River, where ships once docked, laden with loads of grain.

Welcoming, friendly staff and outstanding guest facilities further enhance the offering, ensuring all your expectations are exceeded. Peppers Silo Hotel is ideally positioned to allow you to soak in the ambience of Launceston’s natural splendour. Located within the historic Kings Wharf district, the hotel is just a five-minute stroll from the vibrant Seaport dining precinct, and within walking distance of many of the city’s most highly acclaimed attractions.
