Cordis Hotel Auckland can be found on Upper Queen Street, so you’ll have easy access to the city’s best cafés, boutiques and galleries. You can walk to the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland Art Gallery, Civic Theatre and Sky Tower – all are less than 25 minutes’ away. It’s also easy to explore neighbouring areas from here. By foot, upscale Newmarket is half an hour away, the historic town of Parnell is 35 minutes away, and you can reach trendy Ponsonby in 45 minutes. Plus, you’ll be just a 20-minute drive from Auckland Airport and a 10-minute drive from Britomart’s bus, train and ferry terminals.

A stay at Cordis Hotel lets you relax in style. Take a dip in the heated saltwater pool on the rooftop, or recline under the palms on a sun lounger. There’s also a Jacuzzi and ‘snail’ showers with luxurious massage jets. To top it off, Chuan Spa has saunas, herbal steam rooms, and a range of treatments and traditional Chinese therapies, including massages, facials and rejuvenating body scrubs.

If you book a Club Room or Suite, you’ll have access to the Cordis Club Lounge. Here, you can enjoy continental and hot breakfast options from 7am, afternoon tea from 2pm to 5pm, and pre-dinner drinks and canapés come evenings. And you’ll find tea, coffee, snacks and ice cream there all day. You’ll even have access to a personalised butler between 7am and 8pm.
