Intercontinental Auckland

My Room on level 9 was the most magnificent corner suite, decor in the hotel has been updated and is modern and tasteful. As I walked in the blinds across 180 degrees opened up to reveal views of the entire harbour, over the ferry terminal and up to the mountains in the west. Bed was 100% comfortable with enough pillows and softness. The furnishings in the room were also modern and tasteful, making sitting on the lounge to watch the view idyllic. I especially appreciated the hidden tv in the console to watch while in bed. Shower and bath were also beautifully appointed and had harbour views if you were brave enough not to close the blind while you bathed. The staff were exceptionally professional, helpful, friendly and attentive. I felt recognised and valued as an IHG platinum ambassador when attending the Intercontinental club lounge. All the staff greeted, were discreet and ensured I had everything I needed. Food and beverage options were amazing too. For breakfast I tried a different dish each day and was not disappointed. I managed to make canapes and drinks on my final evening and enjoyed a selection of well made cocktails and some mac n cheese, prawn, truffle and other canapes, along with some cheese and crackers. You could also sample the awesome New Zealand wines. For the budget I had, this is the best hotel in the area, it was close to bars, restaurants, activities, right in the centre of the shopping district but still quiet enough to sleep soundly every night. I could walk to work and then do a bit of browsing in the shops on the way back each day. I truly appreciated the care this hotel demonstrated to me on this trip, it was the best I have had for work (plus a bit of pleasure).

I rarely post here, but this one is a must. What an incredible hotel experience — from the amenities to the staff, the food, and the attention to detail. Everything made me feel special from the moment I arrived to the time I checked out, even though I’m not an IHG loyal member. The location is fantastic and truly made the whole experience perfect. I also booked the club lounge access, and it was absolutely worth it.

Fantastic location and service, from attenuation to detail from house keeping to yummy food at restaurant. We will definitely come back again.

Amazing location with everything within short walking distance. Breakfast was exceptional - most was made to order and the guys in the kitchen was true professionals. The hotel and the rooms are classy and feels brand new. Sarah in the reception checked us in and helped extend our stay - great pleasure to have her help. Valet is great but there is almost no room for parking, just a small space at the side of the road. There are great restaurants in the building and because the hotel is built-in to the shopping mall there is a large food court with lots of options. For top notch food go to Ahi located in the same area. Probably not Michelin star but definitely one that would have honorable mentions. I look forward to see the coming NZ Michelin reviews!

Easily one of the best hotel we ever stayed in. Spend one night in December with family of 4. We were given 2 rooms side by side. The rooms were fantastic, it was new, clean and spacious. The beds were very comfortable and toilets and showers were also excellent. Service was great with staff friendly, attentive and responsive. Had breakfast at Advieh Restaurant which was fantastic. As we were booked for a cruise the next day, the location was ideal as it was just steps away from the harbour. Stayed in many hotels which were great but InterContinental Auckland stands out among the greats.
