A live ranking of Blenheim and Marlborough hotels by number of rooms, for conferences and group bookings.
Housing a conference group in wine country takes a little planning, because Marlborough's accommodation is a mix of mid-size town hotels, winery lodges and Sounds retreats rather than a few very large properties. Knowing the room count of each hotel across Blenheim, Picton and Marlborough is the quickest way to work out how to spread — or consolidate — your delegates.
This page ranks real Marlborough hotels by their number of rooms, drawn live from the MICE directory. Room count signals group capacity, but also weigh location relative to your venue, on-site meeting facilities and group rates. Use the full accommodation directory to compare properties and precincts side by side.
Because room numbers and availability shift with renovations and season, always confirm current capacity and rates directly with the hotel. MICE holds Marlborough's accommodation in one national record so you can build a room block without hunting across separate sites.
