The Hotel Grand Chancellor is a twelve-storey hotel located on the waterfront of Hobart, Tasmania.[1] The hotel opened in 1987 as the Sheraton and has since been taken over by the Grand Hotels International group. The Sheraton opened with 2 restaurants and 2 bars, however only 1 restaurant and 1 bar remain.
In 1998 the hotel underwent a sizeable expansion. This was made possible with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra's desire to move to a more modern Auditorium. The Federal government contributed funding from the Federation Funding Scheme[2] giving the new extension facilities their names; The Federation Concert Hall and The Federation Ballroom. The expansion was opened in 2000 on the eastern side of the Hotel comprising a 1100 seat capacity Concert Hall[3] and a 1000 seat capacity Ball room. The Concert Hall provides an international standard venue for the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and more extensive conference and convention facilities for the Grand Chancellor.[4] The Federation concert Hall is currently Hobart's premier concert venue.[5]
