Transforming the former 1930’s Chief Post Office into Dunedin’s newest luxury hotel has been a massive undertaking by the owner of Distinction Hotels Geoff Thomson but Dunedin locals are delighted to see the once abandoned building transformed.
Distinction Dunedin Hotel has been elegantly refurbished to reflect the rich heritage of this 1930’s former post office. Conveniently located in Dunedin City Centre, this 4.5 star hotel features a restaurant, bar, and a fitness centre. Guests enjoy free unlimited WiFi.
All rooms offer a flat-screen TV and laundry facilities. They feature a minibar, toaster, and tea and coffee making facilities. The private bathroom includes a shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries.
Distinction Hotel Dunedin is 7 minutes’ walk from Toitu Otago Settlers Museum and 5 minutes’ drive from Forsyth Barr Stadium. Dunedin International Airport is 30 minutes’ drive away.
The property features a 24-hour reception and a tour desk. Free luggage storage, and conference facilities are available.
Guests can enjoy a pre-dinner drink at Post Bar followed by a meal at Parcels Restaurant, also open for breakfast and lunch. A private dining option in 1 of the original vaults of Dunedin's former Chief Post Offer, tucked away in the hotel lobby is available.
