Crowne Plaza Hobart Unveils Centurion Sky – Newest Event Space
Business event organisers looking for a distinctive new venue in Hobart now have an elevated option to consider. On 28 August 2025, Crowne Plaza Hobart officially unveiled Centurion Sky – a spectacular new event space designed to impress delegates with panoramic views, contemporary design, and Tasmanian hospitality at its finest.
A Venue Designed for Impact
Perched high above the city with a glass ceiling and retractable bi-fold doors, Centurion Sky offers a flexible, light-filled setting that adapts to everything from intimate executive gatherings to large-scale celebrations. The new space expands Crowne Plaza Hobart’s collection to eight versatile venues, complementing existing favourites such as the AURA Event Space and the Pandani and Huon rooms.
During the launch, more than 100 VIP guests enjoyed a champagne wall in partnership with Taittinger, Tasmanian oysters served fresh to order, and vibrant activations including a pop-up caravan bar and live entertainment. The experience underscored Crowne Plaza Hobart’s ability to deliver memorable, seamless events that blend professionalism with creativity.
General Manager Scott Schaefer summed up the occasion:
“Centurion Sky, with its unrivalled views of Mount Wellington/kunanyi, is the all-weather space that Hobart has been craving. I cannot think of a more perfect venue to showcase the very best of Tasmanian hospitality.”
Conference and Business Event Ready
With 241 guest rooms and suites, a ballroom for up to 600 delegates, and unique breakout spaces including The Deck and AURA Lounge Bar, Crowne Plaza Hobart is purpose-built for conferences, gala dinners, and networking events. Its central location and partnership with Princes Wharf No. 1 (PW1) extend capacity to 1,200 delegates just minutes from the hotel, making it ideal for large residential conferences.
Delegates can expect modern technology, Club Lounge benefits for premium stays, and a commitment to sustainability – from solar panels and plastic-free amenities to award-winning initiatives like the “Greener Stay” program. The hotel’s efforts have earned multiple industry awards for innovation, accessibility, and excellence in meetings and events, confirming its reputation as one of our state’s leading business event venues.
With its central location, modern facilities, and Tasmanian-inspired experiences, Crowne Plaza Hobart’s new Centurion Sky offers business event organisers a venue that is both functional and unforgettable.
