At the centre of one of New Zealand’s most charming wine villages, The Martinborough Hotel offers boutique luxury, rich history, and genuine hospitality — all just steps from world-class vineyards and cellar doors. Sitting proudly on the edge of Martinborough Square, the hotel occupies a prime location within a perfectly laid-out village – the town’s roads famously radiate from the square in the shape of a Union Jack flag, a unique nod to its colonial heritage.
Built in 1882, this elegant hotel blends Victorian charm with contemporary comfort. Its rooms are individually styled, many featuring French doors, high ceilings, and verandas overlooking the square. Downstairs, the Union Square Bistro & Bar serves up some of the region’s best cuisine – fresh, seasonal, and beautifully presented – alongside a broad selection of local wines, craft beers, and classic cocktails.
Whether you’re soaking in the afternoon sun with a chilled rosé on the verandah, enjoying a romantic dinner, or simply relaxing after a day of wine touring, The Martinborough Hotel delivers the perfect blend of comfort and class.
Wairarapa Undiscovered can help weave a stay or dining experience here into your wider itinerary – pairing wine tastings, stargazing, and scenic adventures with a stay in one of the Wairarapa’s most iconic buildings.
For visitors seeking boutique accommodation in a destination full of charm, flavour, and style, The Martinborough Hotel is simply unbeatable.
