Perhaps the most famous guests to stay at the Hotel St George in its more than 60 years as a public hotel were the Beatles, pictured here circa 20 June 1964 being greeted by a large crowd of their fans who have essentially shutdown traffic at Perrett's corner.
The Beatles gave two packed out concerts at the (old) Wellington Town Hall during their stay in the city.

The fans in a more restrained moment. To protect the reputations of aging Wellington Beatles fans some of the more hysterical fan photos have been withheld!
