THE world’s best boutique hotel is right here in Australia.
Saffire Freycinet has been named the Best Overall Boutique Hotel in the World at the prestigious World Boutique Hotel Awards held last night in London.
Saffire features 20 accommodation suites each with views over Great Oyster Bay and the Hazards Mountains. Located in the Freycinet National Park, the hotel has been designed to reflect its natural environment and it offers the best of Tasmania’s produce and wine in its restaurant and lounge.
Mr John Farrell, executive director of Saffire’s Federal Group, said it was the fulfilment of a dream for the family-owned company.
“We wanted to showcase to the world the very best that Tasmania has to offer. We wanted people to fall in love with this very special place, just as my parents and my entire family have. This award demonstrates that we have succeeded beyond our wildest dreams,” he said.
