Palazzo Motor Lodge

5-star hotel — Nelson · Nelson

About Palazzo Motor Lodge

Granite kitchens, private patios, and large corner spa baths set this boutique motor lodge apart from standard central accommodation, blending motel ease with upscale hotel finish. Run by Max and Robyn Reelick, the property offers quiet, self-contained studios, apartments, and executive suites tailored for business trips, weekend escapes, and families. Options range from ground-floor accessible units with walk-in showers to upper-floor suites featuring private balconies and convertible king beds, alongside family-ready apartments opening onto a private garden.

The practical setup takes the hassle out of a town stay, providing complimentary on-site parking, air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, and a 24-hour cancellation window when booking direct. Situated on Rutherford Street in central Nelson, it sits an easy walk from downtown cafes, galleries, and the Saturday Nelson Market, with Tahunanui Beach and coastal trails a short drive out. It is our top pick in central Nelson for travellers who want independent cooking space paired with proper five-star comfort.
