The Hotel Britomart
Five-star sea-view rooms near the Britomart precinct
About this hotel
Rooms here lean into detail: sea views, bathrobes, minibars and soundproofing come as standard, and the breakfast menu runs to continental, American, Italian, full English, vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free options, an unusually wide spread for a boutique-scale property. Complimentary bicycles give an easy way to cover the Britomart precinct and the waterfront beyond, and Viaduct Harbour is a seven-minute walk while the Sky Tower is eleven. A 24-hour front desk, concierge and tour desk handle the practical side, and the Auckland Art Gallery and Auckland Domain both sit within reach for a day away from the harbour. Couples travelling together consistently rate the location among the very best in the city.

Our take
The Hotel Britomart is the five-star address I would choose for detail and a central base, a seven-minute walk from Viaduct Harbour. Sea-view rooms are available, bathrobes are standard, and the complimentary bicycles make it easy to ride further along the waterfront without a taxi. The breakfast menu covers seven dietary styles, which suits a group with different needs. I would book it for a polished city stay, and a 9.3 score from 1,370 reviews is excellent.
- Take one of the complimentary bicycles out to Wynyard Quarter, it's an easy ride from Britomart along the waterfront
- Book Viaduct Harbour dinner on at least one night, it's a seven-minute walk from the lobby
- Ask the concierge about ferry timetables if a Waiheke Island day trip is on the plan, the ferry terminal is close by
Why we love it
- Complimentary bicycles for exploring the waterfront
- Sea-view rooms with bathrobes
- A breakfast menu covering seven dietary styles
- Seven minutes from Viaduct Harbour
