Ikon Hotel

Top choice in Tasmania


Boutique hotel chic comes to Burnie at this centrally located property. Situated on the 1st floor of a city-centre heritage hotel, it subscribes to the everything-is-big-in-Burnie ethos: large TVs and bathrooms, huge rooms, enormous mirrors, and massive prints on the hallway walls. Only the breakfast provisions are modest.

Big discounts are often available through the website.
