September 2019 will see the opening of the latest extension to the Oaks Hotels and Resorts’ portfolio with the group’s newest property to begin welcoming guests in Wellington.

The newbuild, nine-storey property will feature 226 rooms with guest facilities including a fitness centre, meeting rooms, restaurant and bar. With the new opening, Oaks Hotels takes its New Zealand portfolio to five, adding to the two properties currently in operation in both Auckland and Queenstown.

Oaks Hotels, Resorts and Suites Chief Operating Officer Australia and New Zealand, Craig Hooley, said he was very pleased to be bringing the Oaks brand to New Zealand’s capital.

“Courtenay Place in particular has a unique and rich history in the Wellington region, and we’re excited for our guests to explore the area from their base at our stylish and modern hotel.

“This new opening allows us to continue to realise our vision of being the future global leader and innovator in the residential-style accommodation business – a vision that has been growing for almost 30 years and with 50 Oaks hotels across Australia and New Zealand.”
