Wellington Lions welcomes EVT’s Rydges Wellington and Rydges Wellington Airport as Major Partners for 2024
WRFU CEO Tony Giles says, “We’re delighted to have Rydges Wellington back as a partner, and to welcome Rydges Wellington Airport on board this year. We’re looking forward to the opportunities this partnership will bring and hope we can do them proud as we head into the 2024 Bunnings Warehouse NPC season.”
Rydges Wellington General Manager Shannon Craig says, “We are thrilled to continue our valued relationship with the Wellington Lions, a team that embodies the spirit of Wellington. We’ve been longstanding supporters of the team and look forward to continuing to welcome them for pre- and post-match meals, and cheer them on from the sidelines.”
Rydges Wellington is nestled in the heart of the city, sitting pretty on downtown Featherston Street and only a leisurely stroll away from Lambton Quay and Sky Stadium. The 4+ star hotel offers a range of premium rooms, thoughtfully designed to cater to business, family and holiday travellers, with fantastic facilities such as a pool, spa, gym and sauna to complement any stay.
The jewel in the crown of Rydges Wellington is Portlander Bar & Grill, an iconic steak restaurant that is as popular with locals as it is out-of-town guests. With an ethos of ‘good people, great steak, a night out turned into a fond memory’, an exceptional wine and whisky list and second-to-none service, there’s no wonder it’s Wellington Lions’ restaurant of choice.
Rydges Wellington Airport General Manager Jeff Hermes is looking forward to being part of the action, saying, “We’re excited to partner with the Wellington Lions - community is at the centre of everything we do and this is a great extension of our philosophy to engage and support local initiatives. Wellingtonians have a longstanding passion for rugby and we’re thrilled to support the Lions’ 2024 season”.
Refreshingly local, Rydges Wellington Airport is the ultimate connector between the capital, the rest of New Zealand and the world. Sitting directly above the international terminal, the hotel is fully integrated with the main terminal building, meaning guests can go from their bed to the gate in a matter of minutes. Offering unrivalled convenience and sophisticated finishing touches, Rydges Wellington Airport is the perfect choice for business travellers and holidaymakers seeking premium accommodation after those late-night flights or before early-morning departures.
With two restaurants on-site, guests and locals alike can dine at Whiskey Lima Golf or Peloton Bar & Eatery for delectable dishes that hero local produce and suppliers. Whether it’s a celebratory drink to kickstart a holiday, an early morning coffee before a day of business, or an excellent bistro meal on a Sunday night to save the dishes at home, Rydges Wellington Airport has you covered.
