Unique Venues and Unmatched Service

Events

Highly personalized events grounded in a true Tasmanian experience are the hallmarks of celebrations at The Tasman. Whether you're planning a milestone life moment, a business meeting or an intimate gathering, our unique, flexible venues provide the perfect backdrop for memorable experiences. The local culture and landscape is on display in the venues' design — sandstone walls, timber features, and heritage fireplaces are found in certain spaces — and on the customizable banquet menus. Venues range from a tucked-away historic dining room and a light-filled modern lounge to an executive boardroom and a duo of configurable drawing rooms. The throughline that connects them all is our genuine, anticipatory service and our commitment to creating an event that's unique to you.

Room Set-up Examples

Banquet

Generally used for meals and sessions involving small group discussions. A five foot round table seats eight people comfortably. A six foot round table seats 10 people comfortably.

Conference and Hollow Square

Appropriate for interactive discussions and note-taking sessions for fewer than 25 people. Many hotels have elegant "boardrooms" for 10 to 20 people, equipped with full audiovisual capabilities, a writing board, cork board and a flip chart.

E-Shape, U-Shape and T-Shape

Appropriate for groups of fewer than 40 people. These are best for interaction with a leader seated at the head of the setup. Audiovisual is usually best set up at the open end of the seating.

Theater

Appropriate for large sessions and short lectures that do not require extensive note-taking. This is a convenient setup to use before breaking into discussion or role-playing groups because chairs can be moved.

Reception

Stand-up social function where beverages and light foods are served. Foods may be presented on small buffet tables or passed by servers. May precede a meal function.

Schoolroom or Classroom

The most desirable setup for medium to large-size lectures. Requires a relatively large room. Tables provide attendees with space for spreading out materials and taking notes.

Ovals and Rounds

Generally used for meals and sessions involving small group discussions. A five foot round table seats eight people comfortably. A six foot round table seats 10 people comfortably.
