About The Vaults (Distinction Dunedin)

The Vaults is the private dining space at Distinction Dunedin Hotel, 6 Liverpool Street, in Dunedin's Warehouse Precinct.

The building and the space

The hotel occupies the 1937 former Chief Post Office, converted into a luxury hotel. The Vaults are private dining rooms set in the original vaults of the building, tucked behind the hotel lobby. The hotel's website presents them as private dining rooms rather than a public restaurant, and does not publish capacities.

The hotel

Distinction Dunedin lists 127 suites and studio rooms, from studios to multi-bedroom suites, with free high-speed WiFi and a gym on level 3 open 24 hours. On-site parking is charged at $30 per day. The hotel holds a Qualmark 4 Star Plus rating with a Silver Sustainable Tourism Business Award (a news item dates this to August 2022), and is part of the Distinction Hotels group.

For groups and events

The hotel's site links to a function rooms page, but the sources reviewed list no room details or capacities. Planners should contact the hotel directly to confirm private dining numbers, menus and function options.
