Beautiful weekend away

We had an incredible weekend at Sofitel Wellington celebrating my sister’s birthday in July. Sergio and Daniel at the front desk were so welcoming and kind to our 4-year-old, even making her a paper rose which she still has kept safe a month after our trip :) Tappan from the restaurant needs a mention too. He made our evening memorable. Fun to talk with, he gave us great wine suggestions and was super attentive all night. The hotel is great but the people there are what make it. We will definitely be back!
