The QT Wellington Hotel (previously the Museum Art Hotel, Museum Hotel de Wheels, and originally called the Michael Fowler Hotel) is located in Wellington, New Zealand.

Originally known as the Michael Fowler Hotel, it had 38 guest rooms and two penthouse suites. Sir Michael Fowler lived in a residential apartment on the top floor.

Entrepreneur Chris Parkin took over management of the hotel in October 1990 and bought the building from the Government in 1992. By that time it was known as the Museum Hotel. After the building was relocated, its name changed to the Museum Hotel de Wheels, then the Museum Art Hotel. In 2015 Parkin sold the hotel to Amalgamated Holdings, and in 2017 the hotel's name was changed to QT Wellington. Parkin's collection of around 200 artworks is housed in and leased to the hotel.
