Prince of Wales

Term Description

The Prince of Wales hotel is in the Battery Point area of Hobart in Tasmania. The original hotel was built in 1843 on the corner of Hampden Road and Kelly Street. It started trading as a hotel the following year and remained successful until 1960 when it was demolished as part of efforts to widen streets in the area. The Prince of Wales was resurrected when a replacement was built on the same site. Source: Dennison, C. J.: Here's Cheers: A Pictorial History of Hotels, Taverns and Inns in Hobart; HCC, 2008; p. 75
