Park Hyatt Auckland

Designed by a Kiwi - Bossley Architects, Pete has excelled with archetypal features from the James Stirling entry ie the inwards intruding glass entrance to the 7 storey atrium packed with fairface precast concrete panels to perforated metal & backlit feature panels. The hotel entrance is understated and set towards the back of the undercover podium. Note though that cars needs to skillfully manoeuvre around a structural column to get out but you get to admire the supercars parked. We're greeted by the MD's dog who has his own sleeping area in the lobby & for $35 donation to the Guide Dogs Assoc, you get a stuff dog toy. Checking in is quick and efficiently done by the very friendly staff. Its seems to be protocol that all staff greet all guests with a smile, even in the corridors. The hallway bears the architects flair with room doors set into alcoves instead of the standard long hallways with all doors visible. Stepping into the room, you notice the timber floors throughout and the non standard hotel room layout. The walls are lined with fabulous timber and fabric with barely any gibbed walls. The bathroom is huge with double basins, standalone bath that set against a large glazed window with electric blinds for privacy. There's a separate toilet with its own basin so 3 sinks in total to fill the electric jug! Lots of towel rails which is very welcome plus a large shower with detachable showerhead & a overhead rain shower. In between is a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room to keep suitcases out of sight. Fully stocked bar fridge and snacks seemed to be reasonably price. There's a nespresso machine but no milk frother but there is milk in the fridge. At the end of the room is a small lounge with coffee/dining table. The balcony looks onto the ASB Theatre but privacy is maintained by the facade louvres which can be controlled in the room. Its all modcons with next level electrical switches which allows a multitude of operations from dimming of lights to blinds operation. Cove lighting is a nice feature for going to the toilet without disturbing your partner. Breakfast is a combo of continental buffet and a la carte which features eg. congee & bibimbap which nicely expands the standard bacons & eggs menu - very tasty and filling! Exploring further there's a health spa, gym, separate spapool room with sauna and the outdoor pool heated very warmly however the architects may have erred here by placing the pool under cover which means no sun. In fact some guests had dragged their sunloungers to the deck end to grab some sun. The pool is looking a little sad with the artificial timber decking looking worse for wear and buckling in one spot. Plus some signs of corrosion in the aluminum slats in the soffit above are evident. Will need some serious R & M. To conclude, a luxurious stay with the overall decor a plus but let down a little by the pool which in hindsight may have been better on the roof capturing the sun and perhaps views over the nearby viaduct.

Amazing place with exceptional service. Perfect location, amazing rooms with best view in Auckland. Great food. Please, choose this hotel. Love it.

We celebrated our anniversary at Park Hyatt in Auckland and what a truly amazing, memorable experience! The service, care and attention to detail was immaculate. The entire staff from the moment you walk in, to getting to your room, to ordering room service and using the hotel facilities, all staff were welcoming, friendly and made sure that we were okay. I can not fault Park Hyatt. If you are wanting a memorable experience to cherish for a lifetime, I highly recommend to stay at Park Hyatt in Auckland, you can trust in the team to look after you from start to finish.

Stayed for 3 nights at this Hotel. There is nothing I would change. Room is lovely, spacious and everything worked well. We had a balcony giving the ability to choose fresh air rather than air conditioning. Choice of restaurants are great. Breakfast lovely with the option of choosing from the menu rather than buffet. The pantry is a good option for casual dining. The main restaurant is exceptional. Crayfish outstanding. A real memorable experience

We love the Hyatt brand which was one of the reasons we selected Park Hyatt when going to Auckland this December.It didn’t disappoint. Luxurious hotel from arrival lobby to rooms(Xmas tree decorations up), swimming pool, hydrotherapy, & peaceful comfortable bar armchairs overlooking the boats with a nice inside/ outside aspect. Our rooms faced the harbour so beautiful views. Comfortable bed large bath & walk in shower -rainforest & smaller shower heads just a turn of the wall knob to switch between, with double sinks, makeup mirror with light, separate toilet & basin, walk in wardrobe. Wardrobe had a safe. Tea & coffee making facilities & a mini bar with beer, wine, water & milk. Lighting control panels either side of bed which we eventually got the hang of. Large L shaped sofa & coffee table. The concierge helped with restaurant recommendations, we had help with our bags. The first morning we went to use the pool on floor 2 a member of staff helpfully pointed out where the hydrotherapy could be accessed. It’s via the male & female door entries on that floor before you reach the pool. The infinity pool is a really decent length for a hotel pool, good temperature & although outside it is covered so we didn’t get burnt whilst swimming. Accessed via walk in steps or a ladder. Towels were already placed on each lounger. Hotel is located in a great area, our son & his girlfriend swam in the outdoor pool in the dock next to it. There is a pedestrian bridge which rises as boats enter and leave. It’s a short walk to nearby restaurants & the ferry port. Also one of the main shopping streets - queen st is easily walkable. Taxis available & also Ubers can stop in nearby road. Would recommend & would go again if we return to Auckland.
