What it’s good at

Welcoming visitors to residential Parnell since its opening on Gladstone Road in 1969.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

The rooms
North-facing rooms look out toward the Hauraki Gulf, and larger studios and apartments include kitchenettes.
At the table
Gladstone's Restaurant & Bar serves daily breakfast buffets indoors and casual all-day fare out on the timber deck.
How it began

Founder Norman Barry bequeathed the property to a foundation, ensuring its operating returns permanently fund scientific research.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

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.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

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.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
