Hot Buzz Surrounding Australia’s Luxury Saffire

June 8, 2010 | Posted by bLavish as Luxury Hotels at 3:33 pm | Comments off

Australia’s newest luxury hotel, Saffire, located on the picturesque East Coast of Tasmania near Freycinet, has just opened.  Saffire is considered by its developers to be an iconic development for the Australian tourism industry.  Its concept and design are like no other current hotel in the country, capturing the essence of the unique region and connecting with the environment to bring an authentic and enriching experience to guests.

Distinct in its design, exclusive in its features and set apart by its approach to individually tailored experiences and service, Saffire’s approach is not constrained by traditional five-star ratings and standards, but instead sets a bold new direction for holidays and accommodations in Australia.

Saffire features 20 luxury suites, each offering sweeping views of Great Oyster Bay and the Hazards Mountains with complete privacy from the neighboring suites. Tasmania’s freshest produce and finest wines and beers will be showcased in Palate restaurant and The Lounge bar.  All guests can restore their well-being in the premium spa facilities and on-site gym.  Exclusive Signature Experiences have been developed accessing little-known areas of the Freycinet Peninsula, and a range of other activities can be tailored to suit guests’ desires.

The design of Saffire is distinctly unique and recognisable, just like its location. The unmistakable Hazards Mountains are framed in the main building’s roof line, and the suites present like waves peeling on the shores below.

The roof is made from curved Tasmanian wood beams, built in a ribbed structure with ply overlay which forms a smooth underlay for the Polymea membrane. Although complex in concept, the build and look of the roof present a very simple view without dominating the entire structure. The glass used has a very low percentage of reflectivity, allowing for maximum impact when viewing the surrounding coastal beauty both during the day and at night.
