If boutique bliss had a capital, it would be The Intrepid. Nestled right in the beating heart of Cuba Street, this hotel is an absolute knockout—effortlessly cool, yet warm and inviting. The rooms? Impeccably designed, whisper-quiet, and so comfortable you’ll consider moving in. The Puffin, the hotel’s bar, is a masterclass in atmosphere—expertly mixed cocktails, a killer wine list, and that perfect “just one more” vibe. And the location? You’re slap-bang in the middle of Wellington’s most vibrant strip, surrounded by great food, street art, and endless character. Stay here once, and you’ll never want to stay anywhere else.
