OZ Elements Hotel — where the Derwent meets the gaming floor

Australia's most composed waterfront address: 269 rooms and suites, a championship casino, six dining rooms and a private pier, all forty minutes from Hobart Airport.

The Casino Floor

Two levels of tables, salons and late-night play

Blackjack, roulette, poker and 650 electronic machines beneath the waterfront tower — with a private salon reserved for Players Club members.

Waterfront Suites

Wake to harbour light and mountain silhouette

Floor-to-ceiling glass, deep soaking tubs and breakfast delivered from our own bakery — every suite faces the river.

Our manifesto

We believe a hotel should behave like a tide — present, generous, and impossible to ignore. OZ Elements is built on the edge of the Derwent so that every corridor ends in water and every evening ends in light on the mountain.

"Luxury here is not decoration. It is the discipline of removing everything that doesn't serve the view, the game, or the guest."

Fifty years after the tower first opened — the first legal casino on Australian soil — we keep its spirit and sharpen everything else: suites re-cut in Tasmanian oak, a kitchen that buys only from the island, and a gaming floor run with old-world courtesy.

Private ocean pier

One pier, four different evenings

06:10 — Espresso at the rails

Barista cart on the boards, swimmers on the pontoon, kayaks for early guests.

13:00 — Oyster & spritz hour

Cold seafood platters land straight on the deck; the tender runs to the marina hourly.

19:40 — Jazz on the water

Friday and Saturday trios; the golden-hour cocktail list is poured only while the light lasts.

23:30 — Whisky under southern stars

The pier lanterns dim to ember; a single-barrel Tasmanian pour ends the night.

Horizon pool · 28°C
Horizon infinity pool

Water that ends at the river's edge

A 25-metre ozone-purified infinity edge aimed squarely at the Derwent, with submerged sunbeds and a poolside sommelier list built for long afternoons.

Verified guest reflections
"The only casino hotel where I've watched the sun come up over water and lost track of whether I was winning."

Eleanor V. — Derwent View Suite · Autumn · Verified stay

"Service so quiet it felt telepathic. The pier at dusk is worth the flight from Melbourne alone."

Marcus & Lena T. — Tower Corner · Summer · Verified stay

"Fifty years old and still the sharpest room in Hobart. The vault dinner was the best meal of my year."
