Quest Hamilton

Quest Hamilton (also branded Quest on London) is a serviced apartment hotel at 51 London Street, Hamilton 3204, on the corner of London and Victoria Streets in the Hamilton CBD. Part of the Quest Apartment Hotels network, it is built around extended-stay and corporate travel rather than conference hosting, and is best suited to project teams, relocating staff, contractors and delegates who need self-contained accommodation close to Hamilton's business and event precincts.

Apartments

The property has 38 apartments across four types:

• Studio
• One Bedroom Apartment
• Two Bedroom Apartment
• Two Bedroom Executive Apartment

All apartments are self-contained, with a fully equipped kitchenette and laundry facilities, apartment-controlled reverse-cycle air conditioning, LCD TV with Sky in-room entertainment, and complimentary Wi-Fi. One and two-bedroom apartments have a separate living and dining area (studios excluded). Laundry facilities in-apartment are a practical advantage for longer stays.

Meeting capability

Quest Hamilton is not a conference venue, but it does offer modest meeting capacity. Quest states that the spacious lounge area can be arranged for boardroom-style meetings, interviews or product displays, with venue hire including tea, coffee, iced water, mints, notepads and pens, and professional catering able to be arranged for morning and afternoon teas, lunches and post-conference canapés. Independent trade listings record the property as having one meeting room seating around six people, along with business centre, copier, fax, administrative services and wireless meeting-room internet.

Planners should treat this as board-meeting or interview-scale space only and confirm current arrangements with the property on +64 7 834 1440.

Location

The CBD position puts most of Hamilton's business and event infrastructure within a short walk or drive. Distances published by Quest include:

• Hamilton CBD — 550 m
• Waikato Stadium — 450 m
• SkyCity Hamilton — 650 m
• Hamilton i-SITE — 650 m
• Waikato Museum — 950 m
• Claudelands Event Centre — 1.8 km
• Hamilton Gardens — 4.2 km
• Hamilton Zoo — 8 km

Suitability for business events

For MICE organisers, Quest Hamilton's role is delegate and long-stay accommodation rather than plenary space. The apartment format — kitchens, in-room laundry, separate living areas, pantry shopping and restaurant chargeback — works particularly well for multi-day conferences at Claudelands Event Centre, events at Waikato Stadium, and corporate assignments requiring stays of a week or more. Its small lounge meeting set-up covers ancillary needs such as committee meetings, interviews and organiser workspace. Compare with other Hamilton venues when a larger conference floor is required.
