Luxury hotel Saffire has opened on Tasmania's east coast. The property, featuring 20 luxury suites that offer bay and mountain views, was designed by local architecture firm Robert Morris-Nunn & Associates to capture the essence of the region while connecting with the environment.

"This project...is the culmination of years of market research and careful planning," says Greg Farrell, Pure Tasmania managing director. "We wanted to ensure we built a development that was sympathetic to this beautiful area and its environs, yet still offers guests the most unforgettable experiences in accommodation, food and wine, and activities."

Saffire also offers the Palate restaurant, the Lounge bar, boardroom, day spa, and gymnasium.
