Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston

I have to mention Doug the duty manager first. He was so lovely and professional and his ‘no problem’ attitude pretty much made my stay there. Thank you Doug 🙏 The hotel is very comfortable, if a bit faded, and in a perfect, quiet location in the centre of Launceston. Excellent buffet breakfast, spacious lobby, restaurant, bar, and even a good-sized secure car park nestled into one side of the hotel. The stunning Holy Trinity Church is just across the road, reminiscent of the old Christchurch Cathedral, NZ. This was the perfect stay for me. Happy vibe. Kind and helpful staff and an stones throw from restaurants, bars, good shops and interest points. Loved it.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this hotel, but it far exceeded anything I could have imagined. It truly lived up to its name — grand and impressive in every way. The service was top-notch, with a kind of effortless elegance that made me feel like I was being treated like royalty. My room was incredible — spacious, luxurious, and with views that felt truly prestigious. One of the highlights was meeting a fellow Papua New Guinean, Mary, who was so happy to see a Wantok. She really made the stay extra special with her warmth and kindness. It’s those little moments that made this trip truly memorable. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a regal and heartfelt stay.

Hotel was location is great, bar staff were friendly, check in staff and out staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Walking distance to town centre bars and cafes great. Room clean tidy and enough for what we were looking for 🙌🏼
