InterContinental Wellington by IHG
We really enjoyed the Intercontinental club - the chef and attendants there were so nice and inviting. They made the stay and our visits to the club - for breakfast, tea time, drinks and appetizers - so relaxing and enjoyable. The room was very clean and gave us a comfortable night's sleep.
