It’s being billed as the ‘first fully connected and integrated’ airport hotel in New Zealand and while rival Auckland International Airport has hotel rooms close to the terminal, Rydges Wellington Airport www.rydges.co.nz has a direct walk-through from the terminal floor.

Later in the year it will also incorporate a refurbished meetings centre of eight rooms with capacity for up to 80 people.

 

The four-star Rydges Wellington Airport hotel features 134 rooms, a bar and restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is the 7th Rydges property in NZ and the third in Wellington.

Says Chad Johnston, the hotel’s GM: “Having direct access from inside the main terminal level is unique and it’s exciting that Rydges Wellington Airport will be the very first fully integrated airport hotel in New Zealand.

“The hotel has the added benefit of being a plane spotter’s delight – with most rooms having extensive views out to Lyall Bay and directly out over the runway.”

As well as complimentary wi-fi, 24-hour room service and an onsite gym, the hotel will offer day use rates to cater for early morning departures and those who have a long connection between flights, providing a convenient place to rest and relax.

The hotel also features original artwork by prominent New Zealand artists such as Peter Hackett exhibited in the lobby and entrance-way.

The hotel took 22 months to complete and is part of a wider infrastructure development program currently taking place at Wellington Airport www.wellingtonairport.co.nz This program also includes a new transport hub and multi-level car park which opened in late 2018 and a $15 million, 6,000m² food and beverage and retail upgrade in the airport’s main terminal taking place over the next 12 months.
