Outstanding Service from The Intercontinental Wellington Team

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 9 Dec 2023
My husband and I took a rare opportunity to get away for a weekend for my birthday. I booked a junior suite with club lounge access and at every turn the service was above our expectations.
The ladies in the club lounge were very attentive and were more than happy to help. Breakfast chef was a master of a poached egg and all the food was amazing.
My husband ate his weight in smoked salmon.
At one point there was some maintenance work being done on an upper floor of the hotel (not part of the hotel itself) and the drilling was rather loud. The manager offered to move us and showed me two alternative rooms if we wished to move. We ended up staying were we were as the work was due to stop 2 hours and we decided to go to the club lounge until it finished. The manager gave us a complimentary bottle of wine and waived our car park fee.
We were abit blown away as we didn’t expect such amazing service.
Thank you to everyone at intercontinental Wellington for making it such a memorable stay and we will be back.
Date of stay: November 2023
Room Tip: Get the club lounge access.

We spent a week at the Intercontinental over our daughter’s wedding.
We’ve stayed a few times in Wellington and the location of the Intercontinental can’t be beaten, absolutely central to everything.
Our room was excellent and included club access which was so nice. Evening drinks and canapé’s overlooking the harbour was a treat and the staff were great. Special shout out to the concierge team (Jeromy?) who organised several things for us and gave great advice during our stay.

The hotel is well located for the retail area, harbour and cbd. Car parking is easy and connected to the hotel making arrival very simple.

We stayed in a King Classic room which was well equipped, with a large bathroom and walk in shower. The bed was very comfortable.

The hotel beyond the reception is rather dark, dusty and in need of a freshen up.

Breakfast was good but service was poor, plenty of staff but terrible attention to detail, you had to ask for plates to be cleared, hot drinks arrive with no teaspoons, no replacement cutlery just as examples
The chef on the other hand was brilliant very cheerful and obliging.

We understood that the hotel was carrying out refurbishment and were told in advance. Work was being carried out from 0900-1700 and as such from our perspective not an issue as we were hardly likely to be in the room at these times. Disappointingly on the first night we were woken by hammer drills and various noise, it took the hotel nearly an hour to sort the issue including me having to go down to the reception to complain after no initial action. I’m sorry to say even after this work carried on through the night and the next morning albeit less noisy.

I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. The service, the accommodation and the location were excellent. I have never slept on a more comfortable bed and really enjoyed the shower, shower amenities and the soft bathrobe.5 stars!!!
