The building that today houses the Wellesley Boutique Hotel in central Wellington was designed by architect Gray Young and completed in 1929. It won an Institute of Architects Gold Medal and is considered one of the finest examples of neo-Georgian architecture in Wellington. From the spiral staircase to the floor tiling and light fittings, the building is a testament to the character and beauty of the era, while combining modern features and design to create a Wellington boutique hotel with style and class unlike any other.
There are strictly 100 limited seats available for this special evening out - whether you're wanting to treat yourself, or spend a relaxed evening with your partner or one of your friends! Get in now to avoid missing out.
