About Naumi Studio Wellington
A Hotel Inspired by Art, Design & Wellington
Step through the heritage arches on Cuba Street and into Naumi Studio Wellington, where art, design and imagination come together.
Inspired by the story of Lady Naumi, the hotel brings bold interiors, playful details and distinctive spaces to life. From The Parlour and Grand Bar to Lola Rouge and the individually designed rooms, every corner has its own character.
With artwork from New Zealand artists and designers throughout the hotel, Naumi Studio Wellington is more than a place to stay. It’s a creative space to explore, connect and experience the city.
Our Naumi Story
Naumi Hotels is a family-owned hospitality group founded by Surya Jhunjhnuwala, Founder & Chairman, and Gaurang Jhunjhnuwala, Group Chief Executive Officer. Their vision is centred on distinctive design, personalised hospitality and creating smaller, character-filled hotels with a strong sense of place.
At Naumi Studio Wellington, this boutique approach comes to life through art, colour and thoughtful spaces that feel personal rather than corporate. With 116 rooms, the hotel brings together artists, designers, makers and curious travellers in a setting designed for connection, creativity and discovery.
