Quest Parnell Serviced Apartments
Heated pool apartments in historic Parnell village
About this hotel
Parnell is one of Auckland's oldest inner-city suburbs, and this property sits within its village of cafés and restaurants, most within a two-minute walk. A heated indoor pool and fitness centre cover the wellness side, and each self-contained apartment or studio carries a distinct light interior rather than the standard hotel-room layout. Vector Arena and the Auckland War Memorial Museum are both within 15 minutes on foot, and the CBD and Sky Tower sit under 20 minutes' walk beyond that, making Parnell a genuinely walkable base rather than a suburb requiring a car. Breakfast packs are available for guests to prepare in the apartment on their own schedule, and staff will handle grocery shopping on request.
- Heated indoor pool
- Historic Parnell village
- Near Vector Arena
- Self-contained apartments
Our take
This suits travellers who want a heated pool and a real kitchen inside a historic, walkable village rather than a CBD tower. The under-20-minute walk into the centre keeps the Sky Tower and the harbour within reach without needing transport. Travellers planning to attend a Vector Arena event benefit from the 15-minute walk, though anyone wanting to be inside the CBD itself should book there directly instead.
- Start the day with a swim in the heated pool before Parnell's cafés fill up for breakfast
- Walk to Vector Arena for an evening event rather than booking a taxi, it's under 15 minutes on foot
- Ask staff about the grocery shopping service if arriving without time to stock the kitchen
Why we love it
- A heated indoor pool
- Parnell's café and restaurant village within two minutes
- Under 15 minutes' walk to Vector Arena
- Distinct light interiors in every apartment
Why guests love itQuest Parnell Serviced Apartments sits in historic Parnell, and its heated indoor pool and fitness centre give a steady routine whatever the weather. The self-contained apartments suit a longer stay, and Vector Arena, the War Memorial Museum and the CBD are all within about 20 minutes on foot, so an evening event or a museum afternoon needs no transport. With an 8.9 score from 614 reviews, I would recommend it for a quieter, village-style base in Auckland.
