Behind a restored villa in Auckland’s Ponsonby neighborhood, Hotel Fitzroy Curated by Fable offers just ten light-filled rooms designed for rest and reset.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet residential streets in Grey Lynn place you five minutes on foot from the bustling independent boutiques, bistros, and galleries along Ponsonby Road.
The rooms
Lofty ceilings frame custom rugs and Italian-sourced beds, leading into marble-tiled bathrooms equipped with underfloor heating and rainfall showers.
At the table
Breakfast trays arrive in bed each morning, and the lounge pours evening wine with hors d'oeuvres.
How it began
Built in 1910 as a private residence, the heritage villa was later restored and linked to a minimalist wing via a glass walkway.
