Award-Winning Wellington Accommodation

Independently assessed for quality

Qualmark Gold provides guests with confidence that Sojourn has been independently assessed against rigorous standards for hospitality, business excellence and sustainability.

It's recognition that reflects not only the quality of our accommodation but also our commitment to continual improvement and responsible tourism.


Why it matters

When you choose a Qualmark Gold accredited property, you can book knowing your accommodation has met New Zealand's highest recognised tourism standards for quality and responsible business.

Being recognised as a Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Best of the Best winner places Sojourn Apartment Hotels among the very best hotels in the world.

Unlike awards judged by a panel, these rankings are based entirely on the experiences shared by millions of travellers.

That makes the recognition especially meaningful, because it comes directly from the people who have stayed with us.

Rated #3 and #5 Hotels in New Zealand on Tripadvisor Best of the Best Awards 2026

From Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Best of the Best to Qualmark Gold, we're proud that our commitment to exceptional hospitality has been recognised by both our guests and New Zealand's tourism industry.

Every stay matters

Whether you're visiting Wellington for business, a hospital visit, a weekend getaway or a special event, our goal remains the same:

To provide a stay that's worthy of the trust our guests place in us.

That's the standard we set ourselves every day.

Proud to be recognised. Even prouder to welcome you.

Awards are a wonderful acknowledgement of our team's hard work, but they're only part of the story.

What matters most is creating stays that our guests remember for all the right reasons. Every smile, every recommendation, every thoughtful detail and every warm welcome contributes to the reputation we're proud to have built.

We look forward to welcoming you to experience award-winning Wellington hospitality for yourself
