This is the second time I stayed here and I will definitely return. The views of the harbor are unparalleled. The hotel is conveniently located for easy access to the more popular cultural sites. Definitely a keeper.

On arrival from the cruise dock, we expected to have to store our luggage till check in. Our room was already available, which was great. The room was spacious and well equipped. The bed was a bit too soft for my husband. This was rectified within hours of him mentioning it. The restaurant was great and staff throughout the property were courteous and helpful. Our only issue was the touch pad controlling lights, aircon and window blinds. Maybe our age was the problem, as we found ourselves...

Lovely new hotel centrally located in Auckland CBD. Nice views of the harbour and well appointed room with a super comfy bed.
Nice welcome on arrival from Jameica on the front desk and great service from Thea in the Hotel Restuarant. Excellent food ,good portions and obviously cooked by a chef as opposed to a Cook.
We’ve tried a number of Auckland CBD hotels and this one is our go - to.

The hotel itself was absolutely lovely and very comfortable. Just be aware that there are extensive roadworks in Auckland and Uber drivers may feel uncomfortable driving directly to the hotel.

Our first stay. The staff were pleasant friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and of good size. Nice walk in shower. Air conditioning unit was quiet and efficient. The complementary continental breakfast was excellent with good variety and barista coffee too. Very centrally located to Vulcan Lane and Queen Street, short walk to the Viaduct. This will now be our go to Hotel every time.

This has become my regular Hotel during my bi-annual trip to Auckland. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. I love the location and the dining options, which are close to Britomart.
My only minor complaint is that I request a room overlooking Beach Rd however I am always directed to the back of the Hotel overlooking ugly buildings. But overall this is a good Hotel in a prime location.

Right from check-in, we were treated so well. The corner suite was beautiful, all the furnishings were comfortable & it had a lovely new feel. Our only disappointment was that the suites overlooking the viaduct were all booked, so ours looked towards Sky Tower over the marina. The shower was absolute heaven, as was the bath. We stay in a lot of hotels around the world & we came to the Park Hyatt with very low expectations. But we absolutely loved it. The breakfasts are phenomenal, & I...
