Sofitel Wellington

Offering deluxe accommodation in the heart of Wellington, the Sofitel is a comfortable and stylish hotel within walking distance of the Beehive Parliament building, Lambton Harbour and the Botanical Gardens. While there are many restaurants and bars nearby, the hotel’s Jardin Grill Restaurant offers high quality refined dining. The French heritage of the Sofitel brand has been creatively incorporated into the interior design and a subtle vintage French feel is evident in the sumptuous fabrics, gold and bronze colour scheme and plush furnishings. The Sofitel Wellington is a 20-minute drive from Wellington International Airport.

There are 129 stylish rooms featuring wood panelling, gilded lamps, velvet headboards and drapes, feature wallpaper and floral artworks. All rooms feature modern en-suite bathrooms with bathtub and indulgent rain shower, Lanvin toiletries, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, Bose sound system, DeLonghi espresso machines and signature Sofitel MyBed for a wonderful night’s sleep. Various room categories are based on size rather than facilities and amenities, but all rooms are spacious.

For upscale but relaxed dining, the Jardin Grill has a growing reputation for creative and delicious cuisine. The dining room features frescoed ceiling and there is a courtyard and fire pit for al fresco meals. The Green Room lounge and bar is a stylish haven for lighter fare and drinks. Guests also have access to the onsite fitness centre, where they can work off any overindulgence. A relaxing, comfortable and stylish hotel to return to after enjoying the sights of Wellington, the Sofitel is highly recommended.
