Situated in Wellington's CBD, Doubletree By Hilton Wellington offers guests a city escape, just 450 metres from the waterfront. Dine at Spring restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner, featuring Asian and European inspired cuisine.

The reception can offer helpful tips for getting around the area. A modern fitness centre is available for guests to enjoy. Excellent location, central to many attractions it is within walking distance to museums and downtown, directly across the street to cable car. Parking wasn't as difficult as some opinions suggested, it cost $35 per night. The reception guys were well prepared with printed plans of the area and directions for the guests, however, the Gray St. lane is busy and can be difficult to check in because there are only two bays belonging to Double Tree Hilton. The staff at the reception was very polite and attentive, they made us feel welcomed and important. Good breakfast.

Museum Apartment Hotel offers a fusion of luxurious art, technology and indulgence. It boasts an eclectic collection of New Zealand art and features a restaurant, heated indoor pool and a day spa. Free WiFi access is available throughout the hotel. Responsive and kind staff, well equipped room (in addition to full kitchen, there was a washer/DRYER combo), exceptional location just across the street from the Te Papa Museum, excellent food in the attached restaurant, the Gallery Lounge. The hotel decor is fresh, fun and interesting, welcoming and comfortable. A few days before our arrival, one of our group broke her hip and had emergency surgery. She was newly released from the hospital and we wanted to settle her into her room at the hotel upon the arrival of our morning ferry to Wellington. We messaged Museum Apartment Hotel and requested that she be given access to her room early and the staff was unfailingly gracious and kind in their immediate response and they arranged for our entire group to be checked into our rooms several hours early. Their kindness made a difficult situation much better.
