Wrest Point offers a range of restaurants and bars, including one of Hobart’s premier dining restaurants - the award-award winning Point Revolving Restaurant located on the 17th floor with 360 degree views; or the Boardwalk Bistro - a family-friendly destination with great quality food and a focus on great value. Unfortunately my experience at the Wrest Point Buffet for lunch and dinner was somewhat ordinary and what I enjoyed the most was the view from the dining room!! Date of experience: April 2017 Ask suzieq2017 about Wrest Point Casino.
In 1936 a local entrepreneur named Arthur Drysdale purchased land the casino now sits on and declared his intention to build “Australia’s finest hotel”. Neither the Great Depression nor the imminent start of World War II was able to dissuade him. True to his word, Drysdale opened the Wrest Point Riviera Hotel and it quickly became the “place to be seen”.
In the early 1950’s when Greg Farrell senior honeymooned at the Riviera with his wife Dolores, the connection that he felt to the property was immediate. The seeds of future possibilities had been planted. He didn’t know it then, but years later he would be the driving force behind the Riviera’s conversion to Wrest Point Casino and Hotel.
The casino was initially conceived to address the seasonal nature of Tasmania’s tourism industry, designed to be an attraction that would entice visitors to the state all year round. Over the ensuing years the development of the casino had a profound impact on the social and economic fabric of the state. It boosted economic confidence, generated publicity for the state and paved the way for Tasmania’s now thriving hospitality and tourism industries.
These days, its waterfront location and close proximity to central Hobart continues to make Wrest Point an ideal location for guests to base themselves while exploring the sights of Australia’s southernmost capital city. It offers a range of accommodation options and dining experiences, from fine dining at the Point Revolving Restaurant to relaxed meals at The Loft bistro.
Wrest Point is the hub of Hobart entertainment and the home of world-class events, catering for private functions through to conferences and concerts for up to 1,600 people.
