One of the best Auckland five star hotels, in a perfect location. Everything is very modern, this hotel is boutique style, and a very high standard. SE0408
A Modern building completed in 2002. A striking development on the waterfront, nautically inspired design, reminiscent of a sleek ship. The large international cruise ships do dock alongside the hotel when visiting Auckland, this adds to the sophisticated feel to the hotel but can also mean its crowded when the cruise ships are in port.
Modern, medium size lobby reflects the link between seascape and landscape. Lots of light and a pleasant place to sit and relax.
Conveniently located 300 m out to sea on the end of Princes Wharf, the hotel is surrounded by the Waitemata Harbour. It is just a 5-minute walk from the business district and 45 minutes' drive from Auckland International Airport.

Up to seven conference/function areas are available, in addition to an expansive exhibition area with panoramic water views. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the restaurant and bar offer similar vistas. Guests can stay comfortably and luxuriously during their trip to Auckland in the 165 rooms of the hotel.
