welcome to Auckland

Auckland is not one environment,

it is many. Three harbours, two

mountain ranges, forty-eight

volcanoes and more than fifty

islands are the dramatic setting

for this pulsating city.

Add in a sunny climate, a

background rhythm of Polynesian

culture and a passion for

outstanding wine, food and

shopping – now you’re beginning to

get a sense of Auckland. Auckland

has everything for the recreational

sportsman – golf, fishing, surfing,

the list goes on and on.

With a modern urban environment

and a bustling, cosmopolitan, 24/7

lifestyle, Auckland is rated among

the world’s top five cities to live in.

This also makes it one of the world’s

best cities to visit.

Whether its spending time on the

water, visiting wineries that have

forged a worldwide reputation,

enjoying spectacular Pacific Rim

cuisine, shopping for cutting edge

New Zealand fashion, or taking in the

sophisticated nightlife, it’s a city that

you’ll love sharing with its 1.3 million

inhabitants.

And nowhere showcases Auckland

quite like the Hilton Auckland. Located

out over the water, yet within 300

meters of the business district,

it captures the essence of this vibrant

and exciting city.

The location combines so many of the

things that are exciting about Auckland

– the harbour, the waterfront, the

Viaduct Basin and the ever-expanding

CBD. From here, it’s just a taxi ride to

the sophisticated shopping in Parnell,

Ponsonby and Newmarket, while the

ferries that will whisk you out to the

gulf are only a short stroll away.

Imagine a sophisticated urban environment where everyone

lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches and a glistening

gulf dotted with holiday islands. Just as close are bush clad hills,

full of walking tracks and bike trails.

sophisticated way. The six floors

7 suites, all furnished in a stylish

contemporary fashion.

While this offers a multitude of

choice, all guests will enjoy the

same sense of luxury. In each of our

rooms the emphasis is on elegance

and comfort. And what others might

regard as optional extra, we regard

as standard.

Pool & Gym

Winding down couldn’t be easier –

lap pool and enjoy views of the

sunlounger on the pool deck. For

something a little more strenuous,

head to the gym where you’ll find
