Wellington, New Zealand + Add a trip

I always stay at the Museum hotel. It is beautiful, in a great position and really good price.

The Museum hotel is very nice, especially their residential apartments wing. And they have free umbrellas to borrow.

Museum Hotel is pretty funky and friendly - the owner lives there and he has quirky staff who really look after the customers, great art and decor, and even has a motorbike on display!

Ohtel is the best in town, Sophisticated design, friendly staff and great location.

Ohtel for best hotel in the city http://www.ohtel.com

2nd choice: Bolton (nice suites and service but windows don't open) http://www.boltonhotel.co.nz/

For luxe homey stays on the edges of the city:

Villa Melina in Seatoun http://www.villamelina.co.nz/

Villa Margarita in Pauahatanui http://www.villamargarita.co.nz

I would recommend both the Bolton Hotel and Museum Hotel. The Bolton is perfect if you're doing business in the corporate part of town, the Museum Hotel better if you plan on catching the nightlife (it is situated a 5 minute walk away from the main bars and clubs but is VERY quiet when you need to escape)
