The best experience in all my travels, hands down! Being selected as "Guest of the day" was amazing, two room upgrades and access to the lounge.
The hotel was lovely, the gym top notch and the restaurant excellent.
Overall, perfection. Will definitely choose to stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at Sofitel Wellington and honestly couldn't fault it.
From the moment we arrived, everything felt polished, comfortable and just a little bit special. The room was beautiful and incredibly comfortable, and the whole hotel has that lovely sense of understated luxury without feeling stuffy or pretentious.
The staff were excellent — friendly, professional and genuinely attentive. We particularly loved the little touches that made the stay feel special, including the evening turn-down service and the unexpected chamomile tea and chocolates. Those small details really do make a difference.
We had cocktails and fish and chips at La Serre before taking a walk down to the harbour, which made for a perfect Wellington evening. The hotel is also wonderfully located for exploring the waterfront and central Wellington.
What I loved most was that Sofitel didn't just feel like somewhere we slept while visiting Wellington. The hotel itself became part of the experience. It felt like a proper little luxury escape.
We came home feeling completely relaxed and already talking about when we could come back.
Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended. ❤️
We didn’t have breakfast but had dinner twice in the restaurant which was fabulous. The staff were excellent particularly Tarin and Billy.
The room was spotless and very comfortable.
Perfectly situated for our sightseeing. 10/10.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nice room and lovely staff. Expensive but very good breakfast.
Great staff and service and very conveniently located. The only downside was the room was a bit smaller than expected but perfect if you are in the city for a short term. Really enjoyed the breakfast.
