Holiday Inn, Wellington
Winner NZIA Local Award 2007
Holiday Inn was Wellington's first purpose built ‘star rated' hotel in almost 2 decades. The 17 storey, 243 room hotel is made up of a variety of room types including standard rooms, terrace rooms and suites. The rooms are oriented to make the most of fantastic Wellington inner harbour, Parliament and Western Hill views.
The hotel also includes a restaurant, bar, conference facilities, pool, gym, spa and sauna.
The rooms include a glass wall to the bathrooms, and all have kitchenettes. The building's external envelope consists of a mix of angled vertical ribbed pre-cast concrete fins and curtain wall glazing. The mix of the two elements provides a strong and distinctive texture.
