Over the coming next two years, a series of existing hotels around New Zealand will be refurbished and transformed into boutique Fable accommodation.
Two properties are set to open in the coming weeks. One of the first Fable Hotels to open its doors by the end of October will be five-star Fable Dunedin.
Described as a grand old dame with quirks and personality, the Victorian-era four-storey hotel – known as the Wains Hotel for much of its life – has been transformed into a modern, boutique five-star hotel offering full- service luxury.
Inside there are 50 guest rooms that combine the best of both worlds – modern luxury and beautifully preserved heritage features. Commissioned tartan blankets in every suite in Fable Dunedin pay homage to the Scottish ties of the region. Dining will also be an essential part of the Fable experience and Fable Dunedin’s restaurant, The Press Club has been named in honour of the first Press Club established in a suite of Wains Hotel in the 1870s by Thomas Bracken.
Those Auckland bound will get to experience the Fable difference come 31 August when the doors to Hotel Fitzroy Curated by Fable open at 43 Richmond Road, Ponsonby.
Behind the facade of the handsome two-storey villa is a modernist’s dream. Each of the 10 guest rooms both inside the historic villa and contemporary black-panelled building
standing proudly alongside are outfitted with luxurious grey walls and dark joinery. There is a library for guests to relax, read the paper or enjoy a nightcap.
