No Hilton For Wellington After All?
Will they or won't they succeed in building a Hilton Hotel in Wellington, New Zealand? Although plans for the Hilton on Queens Wharf in downtown Wellington were originally approved, an appeal process started today to change that decision.
Local interest groups Waterfront Watch and the Wellington Civic Trust are leading the fight against the Hilton, because they say the proposed area is a special site that:
should be home to an iconic structure like a statue or something similar ... a hotel does not fit that category.
The case is expected to last at least two weeks so don't count on a Hilton stay in Wellington just yet.
