Venue - Henry Jones Art Hotel, Hobart
Location: 23 Hunter Street, Hobart

The 2010 JCA Colloquium venue is the five star Henry Jones Art Hotel, Hobart.

The Henry Jones is the first and only dedicated Art Hotel in Australia, with its fusion of antique and modern minimalism, the hotel is truly unique. The sandstone warehouses (dating back to 1825), once home to Sir Henry Jones’ IXL jam factory, have been creatively transformed into a world class waterfront hotel. Views from the suites allow you to experience the unique beauty of Hobart while immersing yourself in their luxury.

Who is Henry Jones?

Henry Jones was born in 1862 and at the age of 12 started work in George Peacock’s jam factory pasting labels on jam tins six days a week, ten hours a day. From this humble beginning he created an empire spanning five continents with interests in jam, fruit, timber, mining and shipping. All this originated in these buildings that now comprise The Henry Jones Art Hotel. Henry Jones & Co’s motto “IXL” dates from approximately 1895 and, it is said, derived from Henry’s own quote “I excel, in all the products I make”. As a brand name this motto was an inspired choice, soon forming part of Tasmanian and Australian folklore. It became instantly recognisable with the man, his factories and his products.
