Wellington's Bolton Hotel Entices Us With Chocolate

Wellington's Bolton Hotel has a good reputation amongst travelers to New Zealand, and comes in at #2 on the TripAdvisor reviews, too. Apparently even the New Zealand national cricket team have been known to stay there when they've got a match in Wellington, and since they have national hero status, it's a very good sign.

The Bolton is very centrally located in downtown Wellington and some call it a boutique hotel, although with 142 rooms it seems a little larger than an average boutique. The rooms include kitchenettes with fridges and microwaves if you want to self-cater. It's been undergoing some renovations so it's starting to look very modern, and it also offers WiFi (but you have to pay for it). There's a swimming pool, spa and sauna in the hotel and one restaurant on site featuring "regional New Zealand cuisine".

There's one more thing that attracted us to the Bolton Hotel--they have a special package called "A Chocolate Affair". The deal includes a night in a luxury suite with late checkout, two cooked breakfasts, and the best bits--a packet of Belgian chocolates (our favorites, Guylian seashells) and a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream. Very tasty, and very reasonable at NZ$270 (US$210).
