Situated between The Terrace and Lambton Quay, The James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor is not only recognised as a true icon of Wellington, but it also doubles as a public thoroughfare! The hotel is only a short walk from the city's government and corporate offices with direct access to the major shopping areas. Therefore, should you find yourself nipping through the foyer en route to the shops in your lunch hour, you could be forgiven for debating whether to stop for a relaxing drink or a bite at Sojourn which continually delights customers with its innovative cuisine, friendly service and contemporary ambience. So take our advice - debate no longer, you’ll be glad you did. For a slightly more formal dining, it is essential you visit Whitby's Restaurant & Bar. It is the only restaurant in Wellington that gives you the option of enjoying a selection of local and international cuisine from either a buffet or a la carte menu.

Accommodation wise, should you be planning a weekend break, a fortnight’s holiday, a corporate function or maybe a one-night stop-over you can’t help but be impressed by the facilities on offer here. All rooms have high-speed internet access, Sky TV, in house movie system, iron and board, full mini-bar and tea/coffee making facilities. In addition, the 24-hour room service, concierge and reception, covered car park and the proximity to all local attractions are just some of the features that will make your time in Wellington all the more memorable.

Fitness freaks will no doubt get their fix here too as there is a Bodyhaven spa-style boutique and a complimentary in-house gymnasium. But for those workaholics staying at the hotel, a club lounge is available when booking certain rooms. Here you can work in peace and tranquility - the only distraction being the fabulous view. We guarantee you will be tempted to use the telescope in the lounge to view the incoming Interislander from 26 floors up!

The James Cook Grand Chancellor Hotel has 260 well-appointed rooms and suites and is recognized as the capital's leading mid-market hotel. Without doubt, it offers both business and leisure travellers alike a friendly and professional service.
