Wellington's vibrant, creative culture beckons — and The Intrepid Hotel makes the perfect excuse to explore the history, nature and cuisine of Lonely Planet's 'coolest little capital in the world'. Commanding an enviable city-centre position, a stone’s throw from lively Cuba Street, this four-story, heritage-listed building is the place to be and be seen following a three-year, multimillion-dollar refurbishment. Formerly a Cadbury chocolate factory, this boutique complex now offers 18 luxurious, industrial-chic rooms — each stripped back to their raw brick beauty. From the visually aesthetic lobby, adorned with locally inspired artwork, old-world charm and moody, deep colours (with zero replicas or hotel art clichés in sight), to the historic interior touches, this urban sanctuary is a contemporary hideaway and perfect nod to Wellington's alternative side.
