$10 Million makeover for Kingsgate Oriental Bay

An Oriental Bay landmark, the Kingsgate Hotel Oriental Bay in Wellington, is undergoing a $10 million makeover.

The refurbishment involves a complete exterior and interior redesign with the façade, entrance and lobby, guest rooms, restaurant, public areas and conference facilities all being completely renovated to transform the property into the Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay.

The refit is taking place in stages which means the Hotel will remain open throughout the refurbishment. As of mid December it will operate as a limited service Copthorne Hotel with full services available to guests early February. A complete re-opening is scheduled for the end of February 2007.

Hotel general manager Brad Watts says the renovation has been designed to capitalise on the Hotel's stunning location on top of one of the world's most spectacular harbours.

For further information click here or contact: Brad Watts, General Manager, Copthorne Hotel Wellington, Oriental Bay. Phone: (04) 382 0697 or email: brad.watts@millenniumhotels.co.nz.

    The Atrium.
  2. Does the Copthorne Hotel Wellington Plimmer Towers have a fully equipped gymnasium and sauna? True / False. The answer is True.

Plimmer Towers exteriorCongratulations to Jon Woolf from Wellington !

Jon correctly answered two questions about our hotel in Wellington and has won a weekend package for 2 nights for two including breakfast, at the Copthorne Hotel Wellington Plimmer Towers.

Jon said "Beverly and I love living on the Kapiti Coast - great for family stuff, but we do miss grown up time in the city. The long round trip drive and the fact that we cannot fully relax (worrying about the drive back) keeps us from spending as much quality time together in Wellington as we would like. And then, bingo! The chance to relax over a weekend in Wellington's premiere hotel! We look forward to taking full advantage of the offer. Thanks so much to Millennium Hotels & Resorts for this great opportunity!" - Jon and Beverly Woolf.
