BED TIME STORIES
Australia’s first “storytelling” hotel opens next month on Hobart’s riverfront and, on paper, it reads like a bestseller. Macq 01 is a modern replica of the Macquarie Wharf Shed 1 it replaced, with 114 rooms and suites that channel the stories of colourful characters who have shaped the city. Conceived by the Federal Group (Wrest Point casino, Saffire Freycinet), Macq 01 will also feature two restaurants and a Story Bar paying tribute to Hobart’s legends and its best drops. macq01.com.au
