Indulgence for the Blokes

Indulgence for the Blokes

Pampering packages at hotels are usually targeted at the ladies, but this time the Duxton Wellington is offering one that’s well and truly going to appeal to the blokes.

The Duxton’s ‘Formula One™ at Te Papa’ package combines a weekend of indulgent bliss, with the opportunity to see some of the most iconic cars of the 21st century.

Formula One™ - The Great Design Race Tour comes to New Zealand from London, and will be shown at Te Papa from mid-July. It traces the development of the Formula One™ racing car from the 1950s to the 2000s – one of the great design stories of our time.

“We’re very excited about the exhibition, and delighted to offer this package in conjunction with Te Papa,” says James Cowan, Director of Sales and Marketing at the Duxton Wellington.

“Formula One™ is among the world’s most popular sports, and although we know it will attract lots of men, actually, this world-class exhibition is going to reflect the thrill and excitement of the race, and is something that will be of interest to all.”

Available from July 15th to October 31st 2009*, the Duxton Wellington’s package is $199, and includes a Deluxe Room, two continental breakfasts and two adult tickets to the Formula One™ -The Great Design Race exhibition at Te Papa.

Exhibition-goers can follow the incredible technology, see iconic cars, discover New Zealand’s Formula One™ heroes, and stay at a Wellington icon that’s just a stone’s throw away from the exhibition.

There’s also plenty to do in Wellington if your other half is not a car-lover. The Duxton Wellington situated at the heart of the Harbour Capital, close to the eating and nightlife areas of the Cuba and Courtenay Quarters, theatre, movies and of course, shopping.
