The Oaks Wellington Hotel began operating in New Zealand's capital last week.
The Oaks Wellington Hotel has officially opened its doors in the heart of Wellington’s entertainment precinct, Courtenay Place, marking the debut of industry leaders, Oak Hotels, Resorts & Suites, in New Zealand’s Capital.
Formerly the Ford vehicle assembly plant - originally constructed in 1922, the building has a rich history in the area.
The site has since undergone a multi-million dollar transformation into a sleek, 226-key, nine storey hotel.
The hotel has 30 different room configurations, each with complimentary WIFI, Smart TVs with Sky channel access, modern bathroom amenities, tea and coffee making facilities and international power converters available at reception.
Select room types boast sweeping views of Lambton Harbour, private balconies and fully equipped kitchens.

The original framework of the building has been retained, while stylish finishes of marble, aged walnut, white stone and coated steel feature throughout.
The modern interiors include custom-made furniture with soft furnishings featuring the signature Oaks cool blue tone.
Oaks Wellington Hotel General Manager Jamie Donnell said the hotel brought a fresh flavour to the current offerings in Wellington.
“We are thrilled to see Oaks Wellington Hotel come to fruition,” he said.
"We believe that this hotel will be the ideal addition to Wellington’s investment in quality infrastructure and tourism assets, which in turn creates positive economic, social and environmental benefits for New Zealanders and visitors.”
Oaks Hotels, Resorts & Suites Chief Operating Officer Craig Hooley said Wellington continued to enjoy strong tourism growth, particularly from Australian markets.
“As we continue to grow our portfolio throughout New Zealand and Australia, we are proud to have brand presence in three key New Zealand destinations of Auckland, Queenstown and now Wellington.”
