Luxury
Auckland's most interesting international-class luxury hotel was originally the city's most historic and spectacular department store, Farmers. The landmark building has an iconic reputation and is a wonderful example of Southern Hemisphere art deco styling. The Heritage has two separate accommodation wings, made up of 467 rooms and suites, a tennis court, two swimming pools (one roof-top), a health club, a business centre, spa pools, saunas, gyms, restaurants, cafe bars, lobby bars, a glass atrium and, best of all, a grand tea room with fantastic views of the harbour. Quite simply, this hotel is style and luxury personified.

Part of Auckland's most famous landmark, the Skytower, this massive and lavish hotel in the centre of the city has 344 rooms, various restaurants and bars, conference and business facilities, a roof-top pool, gym, saunas and casino, as well as stunning harbour and city views. The best of the vistas are seen from the circular viewing gallery at the top of the space-needle-like tower. All the rooms, from premier suites to standard luxury, are tastefully decorated in the style and to the standard of world-class luxury hotels the globe over, while the service is efficient, friendly and respectful.

Moderate
Only minutes from the city centre, DeBrett is the place to sample the joys of an art deco hotel, at a fraction of the price of The Heritage (see Luxury). The corner-block building leans out over the pavement, to provide covered sidewalks and shows its history in the decorations on the facade. This interesting building, which crouches in the middle of the fashion and cafe districts, was constructed on the site of one of Auckland's first hotels and, despite showing its age a little at the edges, contains some comfortable and airy double rooms that offer good value.
2 High Street
Tel: (09) 377 2389.
Price: $-$$
This modest albeit perfectly adequate hotel is located in the middle of the city, only a 25-minute drive from the airport. The Kiwi International Hotel contains a bar and restaurant, laundry, 24-hour reception, off-street parking, conference facilities and 120 comfortable and functional rooms with their own en-suite facilities. Although the décor is rather lacking in character and the interior gives the impression of an ageing warren, there is sufficient compensation in the number and quality of the facilities on offer, the eagerness of the staff, the variety of accommodation available and the surprisingly low daily or long-term rates.
411 Queen Street
Tel: (09) 379 6487 or 0800 100 411.
