InterContinental Wellington has completed a major refurbishment spanning its guest rooms and health club, ‘bringing a new level of luxury wellness to the heart of Wellington’, according to General Manager, Adam Haywood.
All 79 Classic Rooms, including eight accessible rooms, have been re-styled in collaboration with Auckland-based interior architecture and design studio Y-6.
New soft furnishings including beds, sofas, premium linens and plush carpets have been introduced, while bathrooms have been upgraded with porcelain tiles, black chrome fittings, double rain shower heads and thermostatic mixers for consistent water temperature.
“At InterContinental Wellington, we set out to create a room design that embodies the essence of this luxury brand,” said Y-6 Co-Founder and Creative Director, Suzanne Lear.
“Our narrative centres around an intimate cloak, sheltering and protecting the guest from the often wild weather of our nation’s capital.
“The result is a tranquil, soothing, and calm environment that envelops you with warmth and peaceful tranquillity. It balances the senses, resets the soul, and invites the discovery to begin.”
InterContinental Wellington’s new-look Health Club features a spacious new layout and modernised design.
It is home to the largest hotel pool in Wellington, retiled with handmade Italian mosaic tiles and enclosed by conservatory-style windows.
An infrared sauna – by state-of-the-art Nu-a IV sauna by Found Space – and an ice bath plunge pool have also been introduced. The gymnasium, which is accessible at all hours, features the latest Technogym equipment and weightlifting stations.
“The refurbishment across our Classic Rooms and Health Club marks a significant enhancement to our guest experience,” said Haywood.
“Our refreshed classic rooms offer an inviting blend of comfort and elegance, while our state-of-the-art fitness and wellness facilities provide a rejuvenating escape for our guests.
“As Wellington’s premier luxury hotel, we are thrilled to unveil these revitalised spaces, which are designed to exceed the expectations of our discerning guests and ensure their stay is nothing short of exceptional.”
