Is there anyway of doing this with a keyboard shortcut without manually hiding each object on the scenes panel?
I remember vaguely there was a way to do this in 3DS max.

$\begingroup$ This feature is called Isolate Selection, would be nice if you could add this to your question for other former 3ds Max users to find this question. $\endgroup$ – p2or Mar 9 '15 at 12:47

Press / on the numpad for Local View.
Press it again to go back and toggle it off.

As answered by AttackingHobo, you can use Numpad / to toggle Local view. This will kind of do what you describe, and I prefer it to hiding other objects as it preserves object visibility settings for when you unhide everything.
However, you can also use ⇧ ShiftH to set the viewport visibility of all unselected objects to hidden. ⎇ AltH will set the viewport visibility to visible again.

$\begingroup$ I try to avoid using local view myself because i usually end up confusing myself badly; and the select inverse hide sequence would have been my answer. I didn't know about shift H though… is there an edit mode equivilant? $\endgroup$ – StarWeaver Mar 10 '15 at 4:44

Although the other answers are correct, another possibility is to press CTRLI to invert your selection and then pressing H to hide. This works also in EDIT mode.
