Located in the Capital city's exclusive seaside neighborhood of Oriental Bay, is a near-new 10 room boutique Hotel. 4.5 star, self-rated Ohtel provides true international class Urban Chic.

Ohtel is adjacent to Wellington’s principal entertainment precinct, and en route to the city from the international airport. Major attractions such as Te Papa, Oriental Bay beach, theatres, restaurants and clubs, are a stone’s throw away. Beyond, the city hub creates a picturesque night-time back-drop. Whether hosting international visitors, that ‘must impress’ corporate guest, or seeking a weekend escape without the hassle of travelling to the regions many luxury rural accommodation options, Ohtel offers an inspirational environment for you to enjoy. Bathrooms are the focal point of each room. Large expanses of glass reveal luxurious two-person baths, oversized showers, and the finest natural toiletries. Regular media options are enhanced by digital audio and pod-casts in each room, all via LCD flat screens - Tivoli speakers complete the sensory experience.

While modern urban boutique hotels aren’t unique, the ‘Mid-Century’ furnishings that adorn the interior spaces of this hotel certainly are. From chairs to ceramics, tables to clocks – the owner and designer, Alan Blundell has filled the rooms and lobby with treasures he has been collecting for more than 2 years.
