Hotel d’Urville – Blenheim

Hotel d’Urville has been created for modern people who crave something original, different and magical. No two rooms are alike in the 10 boutique hotel and the individual flavour of each is captured in an eclectic mix of four-poster beds, exotic fabrics and antiques.

You can pick from the many room choices but here’s a few examples that we liked:

The Raja Room – The romance of travel in the Far East in days of old is recreated through fiery red walls, a king size four poster bed, accented by brass ornaments and carved panels

The Venus Room – Named after the Venus de Milo – it is a little known fact that Dumont d’Urville actually discovered the original statue in Greece – this is the suite for romantic indulgence.

The Nautical Room – Bold stripes, weathered wood and a classic blue and white theme, this is coastal chic here in Marlborough. A king suite to enjoy and relax on the couch or work at the captains desk.

While at Hotel d’Urville why not make a stop at Mollies Bar & Eatery for an unforgettable dining experience with fine food, wonderful wines and excellent service. At Mollies they create imaginative menus serving the best local produce, complemented by excellent local wines from Marlborough, New Zealand and around the world.

If you’re looking for a place to relax for the evening there’s also the Bamboo Tiger Cocktail Bar which is a 1930’s Asian fusion Jazz & Cocktail lounge will tick all your boxes. Great tunes, vibrant staff, elegant decor and exquisite cocktails with live music* Tues-Sat 4pm – late.
