LOCATION
The Bolton goes about its stylish business amid the bureaucrats who stalk this tight axis of streets next to the Beehive. If that’s your buzz – or you like to “play spot the politician” – you’ll be in location heaven.
Owner/founder Warwick Angus struck gold with this site: it’s bordered by the Botanic Gardens and the Bolton Street Memorial Park (formerly known as the Bolton Street Cemetery which was famously sliced into this side and that when the Wellington Urban Motorway ploughed through in the 1960s, causing some 3700 graves to be relocated).

All of The Bolton’s 137 rooms err on the side of chic, contemporary luxury, with lots of navy and gold.
