New Zealand: The Martinborough Hotel in the North Island’s wine country has joined management group The Heritage Boutique Collection.
The Martinborough Hotel was built in 1882 – its colonial architecture was fully restored to a five star boutique hotel through a comprehensive refurbishment in 1996. It is the eighth hotel in the Heritage Boutique Collection.
Located 75 minutes’ drive east of Wellington via the Rimutaka mountain road, the property is surrounded by the region’s 24 vineyards, specialising in pinot noir. Its 16 guest rooms, consisting of nine verandah rooms and seven garden rooms, open onto either a balcony or into a rose-filled garden.
“The property being so close to Wellington is an exciting addition and a welcome asset to our rapidly increasing Collection. The hotel will appeal greatly to our high end leisure, conference and wedding market client base,” said Ronnie Ronalde, general manager of Heritage Boutique Collection. “We promise our guests the warmest welcome and a truly relaxing stay appealing to all five senses,” he added.
The Heritage Boutique Collection includes Auckland’s Waitakere Estate, The Waterfront Suites Bay of Islands, Sea Spray Suites Bay of Islands, Tuscany Villas Rotorua, Wellesley Boutique Hotel Wellington in the North Island and Marlborough Vintners Hotel and Akaroa Cottages Banks Peninsula in the South Island. Further properties are soon to be announced.
