InterContinental Wellington, a leading luxury hotel in the capital, has announced the completion of its revamped Health Club and a stylish makeover of its Classic Rooms. The transformation brings a fresh level of luxury and comfort to the hotel’s 79 Classic Rooms, which include eight accessible rooms. The renovation was done in collaboration with Auckland-based design studio Y-6, renowned for its creative approach to hospitality design.

The newly redesigned Classic Rooms feature stunning city views and upgraded furnishings. Guests can now enjoy luxurious beds, plush sofas, premium linens, and ambient lighting. Bathrooms have been enhanced with elegant porcelain tiles, black chrome fittings, double rain shower heads, and thermostatic mixers to maintain consistent water temperature. Additionally, soft robes, slippers, and high-end amenities from European brand Byredo offer guests a spa-like experience within the comfort of their rooms.

Suzanne Lear, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Y-6, shared insight into the design process, stating, "At InterContinental Wellington, we set out to create a room design that embodies the essence of this luxury brand. 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.”

Health Club Revamp

The hotel’s Health Club has also been significantly updated. The new design features a spacious layout and includes modern wellness amenities such as an infrared sauna and an ice bath plunge pool. InterContinental Wellington is the first hotel in New Zealand to introduce the Nu-a IV sauna by Found Space, a cutting-edge technology known for its wellness benefits, commonly found in recovery centers and gyms.

The Health Club's indoor heated swimming pool, the largest hotel pool in Wellington, has been retiled with handmade Italian mosaic tiles. The pool area is equipped with new loungers and plush towels, while a handcrafted Stoked Stainless spa pool adds to the wellness experience. The gym is also fully equipped with the latest Technogym equipment, including treadmills with LCD screens, rowing machines, and weightlifting stations. The Health Club is open from 5:30 am to 9:00 pm, while the gym remains accessible 24 hours a day.

Adam Haywood, General Manager of InterContinental Wellington, commented on the renovations, stating, “The refurbishment across our Classic Rooms and Health Club marks a significant enhancement to our guest experience, bringing a new level of luxury wellness to the heart of Wellington. 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.”

Relaxation Redefined Package

In celebration of the renovations, InterContinental Wellington has launched the Relaxation Redefined package. This exclusive offer allows guests to be among the first to experience the updated Health Club and Classic Rooms. The package includes a welcome fruit bowl and a luxurious pampering gift set from Byredo. The offer is available for bookings until October 31, 2024, with stays valid from September 16, 2024, through June 30, 2025.

Award-Winning Hotel

The renovations come on the heels of several prestigious awards for InterContinental Wellington. At the 2024 World Travel Awards, the hotel was named Oceania’s Leading Conference Hotel and New Zealand’s Leading Business Hotel. Its Club InterContinental was also recognized as Oceania’s Leading Executive Club Lounge. In addition, the hotel received accolades at the 2024 World MICE Awards, securing titles as Oceania’s Best MICE Hotel and New Zealand’s Best MICE Hotel, solidifying its status as a premier destination for business and events.
