Peppers Seaport Hotel

Launceston


Wandering business bods like the rooms at this flashy multistorey place in the Seaport development, with their kitchenettes, good wi-fi and comfortable beds, so they don't baulk at the prices (those here for a holiday might not feel the same way). Cheaper rooms overlook the car park. Eateries abound downstairs by the river.
