Would definitely recommend.
Pros:

Art deco building was a lovely step back in time especially the history of the property (previously Airforce Officers Quarters during the war )
Staff were so welcoming and their attention to detail most gratifying. Meals were very good and rooms very clean and comfortable.

Interesting charm.
Pros:

Nice idea for retro experience. Old world charm. Rooms are fitted out nicely. Good facilities, especially bathrooms. Easy road access from Springs Road or Wigram shopping.

Cons:

It was windy and noise was high with rattles. Sound travels quite some distance with older building. My room was next to the bar, so a steady bass made an early night not possible.

Nice quiet location. Very helpful staff. Easy car drive from the city, shopping centres, etc.
Pros:

Location was great for us as close to the airport and a quick drive into the city. Nice quiet area. Staff were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Room looked to be newly decorated. Extremely comfy beds. Lots of parking.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind.

The Wigram is a wonderful size hotel with a real Art Deco 'feel good' vibe!
Pros:

I liked the updated yet restrained Art Deco inspired decor of the hotel; and the brilliant no-expenses spared treatment of the bathroom with huge press-button circular lighting and the deep bath.

Cons:

I feel the bar on the ground floor could do with a little more atmosphere and oomph, and the brass work on the side door could do with some love with a bit of polishing! Also I'm guessing the outdoor courtyard is still a work in progress.
