The Hotel – Perfectly appointed harbourfront sophistication
Awarded a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice 2021 badge, Rydges Wellington offers comfort and convenience amid the cool sophistication of Wellington. Nestled on the southern end of New Zealand’s North Island and framed by the vine-laced hills of Martinborough — an hour’s drive out of the city — and the glittering waters of Cook Strait, Wellington is a gastronomic paradise, a haven for lovers of history and culture, and the gateway to the picturesque Marlborough region and beyond.
This inner-city haven sits on the doorstep of Lambton Quay, aka the ‘Golden Mile’ — the city’s retail epicentre, made up of Lambton Quay, Willis Street and Courtenay Place — Queens Wharf, which will take you past Te Papa and Chaffers Marina, and the bright red Wellington Cable Car that leads up to the breathtaking Botanic Gardens.
After days of exploration, rest and recharge in the hotel’s steam room, sauna or the fully equipped gymnasium, lounge by the 17-metre heated pool or grab a bite to eat at the upscale Portlander Bar & Grill.
