James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

I stayed at this hotel back in the day when I was studying in Wellington over twenty years ago, and returning now, I’m truly impressed. The place is still spotless and well-maintained, with warm and attentive service that makes you feel right at home. The only minor downside? Cars have gotten wider over the years, so parking can be tight—especially for larger vehicles. But honestly, that’s a small trade-off for such a great stay. Clean, welcoming, and consistently excellent. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Wellington.

If you’re looking for a reliable, centrally located base with warm service and a peaceful atmosphere, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.
