Best Wellington Event Accommodation
Located in central Wellington, WQ Hotel gives you direct access to the city’s dining, nightlife, and entertainment. Its position makes it a practical choice for concert goers who want everything within easy reach.
You’re close enough to move around on foot, and far enough removed to come back to a quieter space after the night.
Amenities include:
• Modern, apartment-style accommodation
• Onsite bar and restaurant (Frankie’s)
• Central city location
• Easy access to public transport and key areas
The rooms are modern and spacious, which makes a difference when you’re getting ready or staying more than one night. Whether you’re travelling solo or with others, it’s a comfortable base for a city stay.
Frankie’s, the onsite bar and eatery, is an easy add-on to the night. You can have a drink before heading out or come back after the concert and still have somewhere to sit and unwind without needing to go back out again.
