New Distinction Hotel Coming to Invercargill

The 100% New Zealand owned and operated Distinction Hotels Group continues to blossom with the announcement that owner Geoff Thomson has purchased the Menzies Building in Invercargill’s Lower Esk Street. The former government building will be transformed into an elegant 4.5 star, 150-room hotel, slated to open July 2025.

All 150 guestrooms and suites will feature enhanced soundproofing and luxury cloud-like beds, synonymous with those highly rated at Distinction Dunedin Hotel. These features along with warm ambient lighting and blackout curtains will ensure a restful night’s sleep. Sleek ensuite bathrooms will be outfitted with spacious walk-in showers featuring both standard and rain shower heads accompanied by complimentary Distinction toiletries, saved from going to landfill through The Hotel Weka recycling program.

Distinction Invercargill Hotel will also be home to a stylish restaurant and bar, set in warm and welcoming spaces and will be the gathering place loved by locals and hotel guests alike.

Free unlimited WiFi will be available throughout the hotel, helping to make working away from home or the office that much easier.

The group’s Invercargill born owner is looking forward to bringing a Distinction Hotel to his hometown. 

Thomson said “We are excited to deliver Distinction’s signature heartfelt hospitality to even more guests and locals and to make a positive contribution to the local Southland economy. We know that our rugged coastlines, wildlife, unique attractions, produce and famous Southland hospitality is a perfect match with visitors and now is our opportunity to ensure that Southland is front and centre in any future visitor’s itinerary”.
