Took my wife away for a birthday long weekend. On arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff. Check in was quick and efficient. Our room, on the 2nd floor was beautifully appointed, spacious and had all the thing needed to make it home from home, including a nespresso machine and a well stocked mini bar.
Our first twist was in the form of a high profile political person, so the hotel had a fair number of "agents" around. Despite this, the staff always made us feel we were the main focus of...

This was my first stay at Sojourn and when I was leaving yesterday I said to my partner that I could not fault it and we would def stay again. We love the Cuba Street Culture, so if that is not for you then maybe not. It was close to everything, def walkable to all the spots that we love. The hotel it self is amazing and I love the attention to detail. Staff, environment, amenities were all excellent and I really could not fault

Hotel hosts were welcoming, location was excellent as most places of interest were within walking distance. Oriental Bay, Clyde Wharf Quay, Te Pa Pa and Wellington Museums, Wellington Info Centre are all nearby including restaurants, shopping areas and midnight market. Enjoyed our time and stay at this hotel and is worth recommending to others!

Wonderful stay, very central. Staff were amazing in every way possible. Rooms were great and well stocked mini bar. Beds comfortable. Only downfall was the aircon...we had it on the lowest but was still a sauna....aparently this was due to the current renovations. I would definately stay here again in a heartbeat - loved the Hot Sauce - best place in Wellington to eat that we found.

Great stay! Super convenient, there was no onsite parking and I didn’t read to request parking across the street (discounted rate for public parking) as I had a late check in. However public street parking was free overnight directly across the road. Very close to everything! Perfect location.

A delightful place to stay in Wellington. Very quaint and olde world. I understand the building was once a "Gentlemans Club" from the days of absolute privilege. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

What kinds of gay-friendly hotels are there in Wellington?
When you're looking for gay-friendly hotels in Wellington, you'll find a wide variety of options to choose from. These welcoming hotels come in all shapes and sizes and offer a diverse array of amenities and special features you can enjoy. Whether you're looking for something romantic, like hotels with spa facilities, or are more interested in rooms better fit for a solo traveller or a group of friends, you'll find it here. What these hotels all have in common, though, is strict anti-discrimination policies and insight into some of the most popular LGBTQ-friendly activities available in town.
What are the best gay-friendly hotels in Wellington like?
The best gay-friendly hotel in Wellington depends on what you're looking for in accommodation. Fortunately, you can easily find what you need, thanks to the multitude of available search filters. You can filter based on amenities you may be interested in, like hot tubs or pet-friendly policies, or you can sort by star rating.

How can I find deals on Wellington gay-friendly hotels?
You'll find plenty of deals on gay-friendly hotels in Wellington. If you want to increase your chances of finding a deal, try booking your stay in the off-season when prices are usually cheaper. Additionally, think about what amenities you may be willing to go without to drive the price down even further. Of course, booking a short distance away from prominent attractions can be an easy way to save while still being close to public transport routes that can get you to the action easily. Just keep in mind that these are general trends rather than solid rules, as prices fluctuate all the time and can be difficult to predict.
