Sojourn Apartment Hotel is proud to be locally owned and operated. We aspire to be a leader in responsible and sustainable tourism.
Proudly Local. Purposefully Sustainable.
Sojourn Apartment Hotels are proudly locally owned and operated - created by Wellingtonians, for Wellington. With locations in both Newtown and the CBD’s Ghuznee Street, our hotels reflect the personality of each neighbourhood and the values we hold close: care, community, and conscious hospitality.
We aspire to be a leader in responsible and sustainable tourism - not through buzzwords, but through real, everyday actions woven into how we operate. At both Sojourn Riddiford and Sojourn Ghuznee, we are committed to:
We believe that sustainability isn’t an extra - it’s the standard. And that great hospitality doesn’t need to cost the planet.
As we grow, we remain deeply connected to our neighbourhoods - committed to becoming the heart of Newtown, a trusted presence in the Te Aro arts quarter, and a part of Wellington’s brighter, better future.
Being locally owned means Wellington isn't just where we operate; it's our home. Every decision we make is guided by what's best for our guests, our community and the city we love, from supporting local businesses to creating authentic Wellington experiences.
When you stay at Sojourn, you're supporting a locally owned Wellington business that invests in local people, suppliers and neighbourhoods. We believe great hospitality should strengthen the community around it, creating positive benefits for both visitors and the city we proudly call home.
We're committed to reducing our environmental footprint through thoughtful everyday decisions. From energy-efficient building systems to waste reduction and responsible purchasing, we're continually looking for practical ways to minimise our impact while providing a comfortable and memorable guest experience.
Sustainability at Sojourn means making thoughtful choices every day. As a locally owned Wellington business, we focus on supporting local suppliers, reducing our environmental impact and creating positive outcomes for our guests, our team and the communities we're part of.
Choosing a locally owned hotel means more of your stay supports the local economy. Decisions are made here in Wellington, local suppliers are prioritised and your stay helps strengthen the community rather than supporting an international hotel chain.
We're continually working to reduce our environmental footprint through energy-efficient systems, responsible waste management and thoughtful operational practices. We believe sustainability is achieved through consistent everyday improvements rather than one-off initiatives.
As a locally owned business, we're proud to support the people, businesses and events that make Wellington one of New Zealand's most vibrant cities. Through local partnerships, major events and community initiatives, we aim to help visitors experience the very best of Wellington while contributing to the city's success.
Sojourn Apartment Hotels are proud to hold Qualmark Gold, New Zealand's highest tourism quality accreditation. It recognises businesses that consistently deliver outstanding visitor experiences while demonstrating a strong commitment to responsible business practices, environmental sustainability and continuous improvement.
Choosing a locally owned hotel means your stay has a positive impact beyond your room. More of your travel spend supports local people, businesses and communities, while giving you a more authentic experience shaped by people who genuinely know and love the destination.
