Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

Ohtel, Wellington

Australia

Forget hobbits and hills. New Zealand’s hip new boutique hotel is a destination for the style savvy traveller.


Ohtel perches on a cliffside at the end of Wellington’s Oriental Parade. It’s contemporary 4 storey structure stands overlooking a jutting marina, the harbour waters of Oriental Bay and the Waitangi Park. This 10-room boutique hotel sits adjacent to Wellington’s principal entertainment precinct and is en route to the city from the international airport.

 

 

Praised for its Mid-Century furnishings, Ohtel offers a combination of modern and retro interior furnishings and unique Kiwi décor. Eclectic wall clocks and paintings provide a bright interior aesthetic, whilst timber furnishings maintain the warmth of a cosy holiday getaway.

 

 

 

The key design feature of each room design is the bathroom, built with stretched glass walls and a luxurious two-person bath and shower. In winter, guests can illuminate the contemporary low-sitting fireplace and enjoy the underfloor heating.

 

 

 

With a tagline ‘Ohtel, Get a Room’, you know this place is going to be funky. Pack your trendiest threads and jet off to Australia’s nextdoor neighbour this holiday season.
