InterContinental Auckland by IHG
Five-star suites a four-minute walk from Viaduct Harbour
About this hotel
The location is close to unbeatable for a first Auckland stay: Viaduct Harbour is a four-minute walk, the SkyCity Auckland Convention Centre and the Sky Tower both sit under a kilometre away, and the Auckland Art Gallery is a twelve-minute stroll. A terrace, restaurant and bar handle the on-site side, and a child-friendly buffet alongside family rooms make it workable for a family trip as much as a conference one. The Mediterranean and Middle Eastern menu covers halal, vegetarian, vegan and dairy-free diets, with breakfast built around local specialities and fresh pastries. Auckland Domain and the War Memorial Museum sit within a few kilometres for a day trip away from the waterfront.
- Waterfront location
- Near Convention Centre
- Family-friendly dining
- Five-star service
Our take
This suits travellers who want a five-star waterfront base within walking distance of the Convention Centre, the Sky Tower and Viaduct Harbour's restaurants. Families get real value from the child-friendly buffet and family rooms, and conference attendees from the under-a-kilometre walk to the venue. Budget-conscious travellers or those planning a longer self-catering stay should look toward an apartment hotel instead.
- Book the Convention Centre walk into your schedule instead of a taxi, it's under a kilometre and often faster
- Reserve a Viaduct Harbour dinner for at least one night of the stay, it's a four-minute walk from the lobby
- Ask about the child-friendly buffet timing if travelling with young kids, it runs alongside the main breakfast service
Why we love it
- A four-minute walk to Viaduct Harbour
- Under a kilometre from the SkyCity Convention Centre
- A child-friendly buffet and family rooms
- Electric vehicle charging on site
Why guests love itInterContinental Auckland is a five-star waterfront hotel four minutes on foot from Viaduct Harbour and under a kilometre from the SkyCity Auckland Convention Centre and the Sky Tower, so work and sightseeing stay within walking distance. The family-friendly dining makes evening meals with children easy after a long day. With a 9.2 score from 508 reviews, I would recommend it to families combining a conference with a city break on the water.
