Conference days can be long. Your stay shouldn't feel like more work.
Sleep Well
Arrive at the next session ready for the day. Premium bedding, blackout blinds and quiet, comfortable rooms give you somewhere to properly switch off after a full day of presentations, conversations and networking.
Start the Day Your Way
Breakfast when it suits your schedule. Kitchen facilities mean you can make breakfast, prepare something simple or enjoy an espresso before heading out, particularly useful when the first session starts early.
Stay Connected
For the work that happens outside the conference room. Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi makes it easy to check emails, prepare for tomorrow or catch up with the office. If you expect to work regularly from your room, choose one of our larger Studio Apartments with space to work.
Switch Off When the Day Is Done
Your conference doesn't have to be your entire Wellington trip. Head out for dinner, catch up with other delegates or simply return to your room and recharge. With Chromecast, kitchen facilities and apartment-style comfort, staying in can be just as easy as heading out.
When the name badge comes off, Wellington is waiting.
Staying at Ghuznee puts Cuba Street and some of Wellington's best-known dining and entertainment areas just outside your door.
Take a walk along Wellington's waterfront, visit Te Papa or grab a coffee and experience a little of the city rather than spending every spare moment in your room.
Turn a work trip into a little more.
If your conference finishes on Friday, or starts on Monday, consider adding a night and giving yourself time to experience Wellington without a conference schedule.
