Hastings long-standing aspiration to have a hotel in its city centre is finally happening, as work on the Quest Apartment Hotel begins. A derelict building on Eastbourne St East in the eastern side of Hastings will be transformed into a 34-room 4 to 4.5-star apartment style hotel specifically designed for short and extended corporate stays.

Work has begun this month on the new Quest Apartment Hotel being built in Hastings, the culmination of a long-standing aspiration to have hotel accommodation available in the heart of the entertainment, culture and arts precinct surrounding Toitoi - Hawke’s Bay Arts and Events Centre.
Construction of the 34-room apartment-style hotel, located in a currently vacant building behind the Municipal Building and Opera Kitchen café, was delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
Wallace Development Company is building the hotel and managing director Jonathan Wallace said it was pleasing to be able to get on site and start the demolition work this month.
