The 6 Best Hotels in Auckland (Updated 2025)

"Located on Auckland’s North Shore, about 20 minutes by public transport from the city center, this hotel has a minimalist, beachy aesthetic and convenient free parking. Amenities include a sauna, an outdoor pool, and a gym; rooms are spacious and filled with natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, and some rooms have balconies and jacuzzi baths (even standard-room bathrooms are very large). Rooms come with a flat-screen TV, desk, fridge, electric kettle, and free Wi‑Fi; there’s no breakfast at the property, but you’re steps from the main street’s cafes and the beach is only a five-minute walk away." - Matthew Kepnes
