Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

Great location across the road from Te Papa Museum. Wonderful foyer area full of contemporary artworks and with many spots to sit and enjoy it. Great in house dining options. Stylishly decorated with funky furnishings. High end toiletries provided. Good kitchen with stove, dishwasher, and microwave. Washing machine very efficient. Everything we needed for a 3 day stay.

The hotel itself is gorgeous. Beautiful art decorating the lobby gives the hotel an elevated and cultured feel. The valet service was appreciated and very helpful. The staff were lovely and very accomodating. I loved the gift they left us in our room to commemorate the occassion. The room was a great size with more than the average hotel amenities. Two hob stove, oven, microwave, and a washer/dryer. There was an extra large tub that filled very quickly and the toiletries all smelt lovely and were gentle on skin. The hotel was within walking distance to many great tourist spots and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

The locality to where I needed to get to on foot, The luxuriousness of the furnishings, amazing artwork throughout the whole building. I have never had the privilege of ever seeing great art like that and to be afraid to sit, look and admire it. The ambience of the lighting to preserve the artwork but yet giving off an illusion. The wonderful staff throughout all the different areas of roles and responsibilities. Our room had everything that I needed and was comfortable. We both just loved it and have already recommended it to colleagues, friends and family to stay there. Am already planning our next stay.

- Excellent location, close to Te Papa and a lot of restaurants, Cuba Street etc. - Was great for travelling with a 5 year old who wanted to go back to the room for a rest in between activities. - Car Parking was good, no need to book in advance (some other hotels I looked at couldn't guarantee a carpark). It is valet parking and the concierge was great to deal with, always had the car ready when I needed it (cars are stored across the road in a secure carpark when not in use). - Reception and Lobby area is nice with lots of artwork to look at. Swimming pool, Spa and Sauna were all in operation during my stay which was a main reason I wanted to stay here, kid loved it. - Staff were friendly and always helpful when assistance was needed. - Size of room was fine for a family of 3. - Large bath tub which the kid enjoyed too. - Tip for guests: the hotel shares their main entrance/ reception with QT hotel. When inputting into google maps use the QT Wellington address (90 Cable Street). The Wakefield St address given will take you to the back entrance which you can't enter without a key card.

The deep bath was amazing. The location was spot on and handy to everything at a short distance. Oven and Induction stove top was great! Room service was brilliant and kind. The bar man was knowledgeable despite there being limited stock. Loved the Spa and Pool gym area. Appreciated the little sitting areas to sit and take phone calls etc.
