Bolton Hotel WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND
Located in the heart of Wellington, Bolton Hotel has been the city’s premier independent, family- run property since 2005. Steps from Parliament, the iconic Beehive building and the central business district, the hotel offers guests seamless access to Wellington’s cafes, boutiques and vibrant waterfront, blending convenience with luxury. Art and heritage infuse the property, reflecting
the hotel’s family connection to the celebrated painter Rita Angus. Her striking prints grace the hallways, while a dramatic large-scale mural of her iconic work ‘Rutu’ adorns the hotel’s exterior, painted by renowned graphic artist Sean Duffell. This tribute adds a striking cultural touchpoint for visitors and locals alike. At the heart of Bolton Hotel’s culinary offering
is Artisan, a restaurant dedicated to locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. In 2025, the hotel welcomed executive chef Amey Rane, who has previously headed up a number of well-regarded eateries across New Zealand. He takes pride in transforming the country’s produce into refined dishes with global influence and a considered
use of native ingredients. Guests can savour succulent New Zealand lamb and Kāpiti cheeses, accompanied by a drinks list that highlights local Martinborough vineyards and Wellington’s own craft beer breweries. Artisan’s weekend high tea has become a signature indulgence, offering elegantly presented savouries, house-made treats and premium teas in a sophisticated setting. Guest rooms are some of the largest in
Wellington, with a variety of apartment-style suites with full kitchens, offering space and independence. A curated mini-bar in each room provides a taste of the region’s artisanal offerings, while the spa pool, lap pool and sauna offer spaces to unwind. For those seeking the ultimate stay, the 18th-floor Residence Suite delivers an elevated sanctuary with expansive living areas and sweeping views of the city, harbour and hills. Guests can complement their stay with
self-guided walking tours or enjoy the iconic red Wellington Cable Car to the Botanic Garden, followed by a leisurely stroll along its meandering paths back to the hotel.
DON’T MISS Indulge in the hotel’s signature Artisan High Tea — a refined experience of delicate pastries, local flavours and perfectly brewed teas
