Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Wonderful stay. I thoroughly recommend this hotel, particularly the new rooms in the Pinnacle Tower. I had such a beautiful room, a big comfortable bed, and lovely modern bathtub. The room service was delicious and the spa and gym were clean and relaxing spaces. I can’t wait to come back!
