Wellington Hospital - Healing Happens Here

Newtown is many things - vibrant, eclectic, full of local character - but at its heart sits one of Wellington’s most essential institutions: Wellington Regional Hospital.

For thousands of locals and visitors each year, this is more than a building. It’s a place of care, recovery, and vital moments. Whether you're here for a procedure, supporting a loved one, or accessing world-class specialists, this medical precinct is one of the most respected in Aotearoa.

And with the new Wellington Children’s Hospital (Te Wao Nui) the precinct is evolving into a leading-edge hub of healthcare and compassion.

A Nationally Recognised Medical Centre

Wellington Hospital isn’t just big - it’s deeply specialised, thoughtfully equipped, and always evolving to meet the region’s growing needs.

Facilities include:

  • Wellington Children's Hospital (opening soon)

  • Eye Clinic and X-Ray Radiology

  • Paediatric Outpatients and Orthopaedics

  • Mental Health Recovery Unit

  • Centre for Endocrine, Diabetes & Obesity Research

  • Otago School of Medicine teaching campus

From complex surgery to outpatient follow-ups, it’s a campus designed to support every step of the health journey - for patients, whānau, and medical professionals alike.

A Stay That Supports Your Purpose

If you’re staying in Wellington for hospital-related reasons, you don’t just need a place to sleep - you need a base you can rely on.

Sojourn Riddiford sits directly across from Wellington Regional Hospital, offering more than convenience:

  • Thoughtfully quiet apartments for real rest

  • Kitchenettes to prepare meals on your schedule

  • Flexible check-in options and genuinely helpful staff

  • Laundry on every floor (ideal for longer stays)

  • And of course, our StaySure™ Guarantee - calm, certain, and human

Whether you’re here for recovery, support, or training, you can come “home” to Sojourn and exhale. No noise, no chaos. Just everything working as it should.

Because Some Trips Aren’t Holidays

Hospital visits bring enough stress. Accommodation shouldn’t add to it. At Sojourn, we don’t just offer proximity - we offer peace of mind.

And that’s something our guests feel the moment they arrive.

Because when the bed is actually comfortable, the room is actually spotless, and the WiFi actually works - you can focus on what really matters.
