Art is expression. Art is mystery. Art is an invitation into the unknown. During Dark Mofo, The Henry Jones Art Hotel transforms into an extension of the festival—where every corridor whispers a story and every canvas pulses with life.

This is where the lines between past and present blur, where creativity is released. Beneath the soft glow of lanterns, you’ll wander through shadowed halls lined with storied artworks, feeling the heartbeat of artistic expression in every brushstroke. By day, engage with resident artists and explore Hobart’s cultural underbelly. By night, immerse yourself in Dark Mofo’s spellbinding energy, where the festival’s art, music, and mystery intertwine in ways you’ve never imagined.

Discover the Dark

  • Grave Matters* – A walking tour of murder, mayhem, and mystery born of the Dark Mofo spirit. The night will begin at The Story Bar at 5:00 p.m. — sip on a themed cocktail, listen, and follow the thread of darker tales woven through the corridors of MACq 01, the chill of Hunter Street, and finally in the bowels of the Henry Jones Art Hotel.
  • Winter Feast Access – Exclusive access to purchase a coveted ticket and experience the sensory indulgence that is Winter Feast, available for guests staying Thursday to Saturday. Ask our team at reception to purchase your ticket or to find out more.
  • A Curated Map (provided in-room or upon check-in) – A secret only for those who know where to look.
  • Quasi atop a roof – Just moments away, confront the towering, monstrous, five-metre hand, a grotesque fusion of artist and appendage.

Stay midweek—breathe the art, taste the darkness and claim the night before it claims you.

* Grave Matters departs daily at 5:00pm from the MACq01 reception during Dark Mofo 5-15 June. Complimentary for in-house guests of MACq01 and The Henry Jones Art Hotel, $35 for non-guests. Numbers limited. Book online or by calling reception at either hotel to secure your spot.
