Radisson RED Auckland
City-centre rooms with bathrobes and baths as standard
About this hotel
Bathrobes and baths come as standard here, a step above the usual city-centre hotel bathroom, alongside soundproofing that helps in a busy CBD block. The restaurant runs an international menu with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and breakfast includes champagne alongside fresh pastries and fruit, a small touch of occasion for an ordinary morning. A terrace and bar cover the evening, and the Auckland Art Gallery and Sky Tower both sit close by, with the airport a straightforward 19 kilometres off. Water sports are available in the surrounding harbour area for guests wanting to get out on the water during the stay. The central position keeps most of the CBD's main sights within a comfortable walk, and the small upgrades throughout, from the champagne breakfast option to the bathrobe and bath combination, add a touch of occasion to what would otherwise be a fairly standard city-centre stay.

Our take
Radisson RED Auckland is the central hotel I would book for a city break with a little extra comfort: rooms come with bathrobes and a bath, and the on-site restaurant and terrace bar make for an easy evening without much walking. The Auckland Art Gallery and the Sky Tower are close by. Families who need a kitchen or connecting rooms should look at an apartment hotel instead. An 8.9 score from 439 reviews is very good.
- Book breakfast with the champagne option if celebrating something during the stay, it's a nice touch for an ordinary morning
- Use the terrace bar for a pre-dinner drink before heading out to the Art Gallery area
- Ask about water sports options nearby if the harbour is part of the itinerary
Why we love it
- Bathrobes and baths in every room
- Breakfast with a champagne option
- A terrace and bar on site
- Close to the Auckland Art Gallery
Why guests love itTravellers who choose this hotel for a CBD stay tend to notice the bathrobe and bath setup first, a small upgrade over the standard city-centre room. The champagne breakfast option makes it an easy pick for a couple marking an occasion, and the terrace bar gives a simple pre-dinner stop before heading toward the Art Gallery area. The terrace bar becomes a simple pre-dinner stop before heading toward the Art Gallery area most evenings of the stay.
