The Best Hotels in Auckland for Business Travellers
From a former warehouse turned industrial-cool hotel to a boutique CBD stay with a lauded on-site bistro, New Zealand's largest city has much to offer those looking to work and unwind in style. Below, read on for our selection of Auckland's best hotels for business travellers.
JW Marriott Auckland, CBD
Opened in May, 286-room JW Marriott Auckland is like a sleek new car with all the features: mobile check-in, 24-hour room service, in-room coffee machines, complimentary minibars and evening turndown. It’s also only a few blocks from the Britomart precinct and the harbour; the former is great for quick lunches and the latter is the jumping-off point for spare-time sightseeing.
The Convent, Grey Lynn
In this neighbourhood just south-west of the CBD, you’ll find everything from a plant-based pâtisserie to a neon-lit Korean eatery. You’re within walking distance of it all – and just 15 minutes by cab from the city – at cosy, 22-room The Convent, a Spanish Mission-style retreat with complimentary in-room snacks and premium linen. Show a local you mean business by booking a table at Ada, the onsite bistro that works European-style wonders from Aotearoa produce.
InterContinental Auckland, CBD
As with every InterContinental check-in, reserving a Club Room or suite at this 139-room stay unlocks access to Club InterContinental, a private lounge with a rolling schedule of all-day snacks, meals and drinks. Not that you’ll be lacking space back in your suite, where a standalone bathtub, harbour or city views and a comfy living area facilitate deep work and, come clock-off time, concentrated relaxation.
Hotel Indigo Auckland, Midtown
This hotel has come a long way since its days as a Cadillac imports warehouse. The heritage building’s recent refresh unveiled 225 industrial-cool rooms (of which 10 are accessible) that have the modern traveller in mind – organic drip coffee from the North Island, a GHD hairdryer in the bathroom and a pillow menu for fussy sleepers. You could work from your room but a spot on one of the lobby’s leather banquettes beneath local artworks is a nice way to break up the day.
