Ideally located in the heart of Wellington’s central business district, the stylish hotel is just a stone’s throw away from the Wellington cable car and nearby attractions such as Te Papa Museum, Wellington Waterfront and New Zealand's Parliament House.

Chamber of Commerce chief executive John Milford said, “Having a DoubleTree by Hilton is great news for the city and makes up for the disappointment of earlier plans for a 5-star Hilton Hotel falling through due to site issues.” 

“It adds to our already excellent portfolio of top hotels and its location will bring its clients right into the heart of the retail ‘Golden Mile’. Developer Mark Dunajtschick clearly did an excellent job of restoring the distinctive old building to its former glory."

"Even though that was not his first wish for it, he is to be congratulated on an outcome that was good enough to attract the eye of the Hilton brand.”

Built in 1928, the historical building is full of heritage charm. Stylish guest rooms boast high ceilings and original features, combined with modern amenities such as an HDTV, WiFi access and a chic rain shower.
