The Hotel Britomart
Auckland
From its exterior of 150,000 hand-made bricks to its beautifully timber-lined rooms, The Hotel Britomart does detail like nobody else — artisan ceramics, organic linens and stone-tiled bathrooms across 99 cosy rooms and five highly crafted Landing Suites. And the best of downtown waterfront Auckland is just outside your front door: the Britomart neighbourhood's nine blocks of plant-lined streets, historic warehouses and the city's best shopping and dining. Downstairs, kingi celebrates local, sustainably caught seafood, open daily from breakfast until late.
The Britomart Transport Centre next door connects you to every part of the city, and the ferry terminal for the Hauraki Gulf islands is a short stroll away.
