According to the Tasmania Fire Service, Hobart crews discovered a fire in the kitchen that had filled the room with smoke upon their arrival.
A spokesperson said crews were busy ventilating the area at 11:25pm.
The cause of the fire is expected to undergo an investigation on Friday morning.
In October, the nearby Zero Davey Apartment Hotel was evacuated during a lightning storm after a fire broke out in a restaurant on the ground floor.
