One of eight vibes
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
3 hotels
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Hotel DeBrett
Cocktails in the intimate 1920s Housebar and local craft beers at Cornerbar.
QT Auckland
Weekend DJ sets and aquafaba cocktails at the sixth-floor marina-view rooftop bar.
SO/ Auckland
Sunset DJ sessions and harbour-view cocktails on the sixteenth-floor HI-SO rooftop terrace.
Gold. Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Silver. Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
Bronze. They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed. A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
Design. Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe. Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local. It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Heritage. A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness. You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic. The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort. A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
