Hotel St. George, Wellington
Hotel St. George, Wellington, Art Deco hotel in Wellington City, New Zealand
The Hotel St. George is an Art Deco building with two identical eight-story wings facing Boulcott and Willis Streets. The central section contains lounges and common areas, along with a shared kitchen for guests.
The building was constructed in 1930 as a steel-framed concrete structure intended to be a major international hotel. Engineers had to install deep foundation piles because of thick clay deposits beneath the site.
The name honors a Christian patron saint and reflects local naming traditions from that era. Visitors and residents today experience the shared spaces as social gathering places where people naturally connect.
The property operates today as boarding-style accommodation with different room types and shared facilities for all guests. Visitors should know that bathrooms and kitchen spaces are shared, similar to a dormitory setting.
This hotel is famous because the Beatles stood on the third-floor balcony in 1964 and waved to their fans gathered below in the street. That moment remains a memorable part of New Zealand's pop music history that many visitors recall.
