Situated within the historic Public Trust building in the very heart of Marlborough, Blenheim’s unique Hotel d’Urville offers exceptional accommodation for those who enjoy tradition without stuffiness. Sophisticated surroundings – lofty ceilings, polished wooden floors and stylish bathrooms – add an air of grand elegance to this small hotel. Not one of the eleven rooms is alike and the individual flavour of each is conjured from an eclectic fantasy of four-poster beds, exotic fabrics, discovered treasures and Kiwiana. The restaurant offers outstanding local cuisine beautifully presented by our executive chef, Maree Connolly, and is one of the finest in the region.

Capacity: 22 guests, 11 rooms. Check in/check out: 2pm/11am. Reception hours: 7am – 10pm. Restaurant/bar: Yes. Price: From $195 – $310.
