Luxury Auckland NZ December Short Break

Two Night Stopover In Auckland Five Star Hotel With Elegance

Oct 27, 2008

Luxury can be found in a short stopover in Auckland while touring New Zealand. Contemporary Hilton Auckland and traditional hotel The Langham Auckland are introduced.

Air travellers arriving in the city of Auckland by taxi have had a significant suburban drive from the airport that will prepare them for the high density living within Auckland. The city of Auckland offers several choices of five star luxury hotel accommodation including Hilton Auckland and The Langham Auckland.

Hilton Auckland

Travellers disembarking from a luxury cruise liner will flow into the Hilton Auckland on the end of the Princes Wharf without question. Arriving into the Auckland Harbour, the elegant neo-Art Deco architectural lines of Hilton Auckland are glossy and striking in appearance.

Princes Harbour and the regeneration of fish market, wharf and port area bounding the Auckland Central Business District (CBD) were kickstarted by the America’s Cup Yacht Race. Luxurious apartments overlook the Auckland Marina with mooring for hundreds of yachts of Auckland residents and visiting sailing crews. Visitors taking a harbour cruise from Auckland Harbour will appreciate the splendour of the suspended swimming pool of Hilton Auckland.

Hilton Auckland (Princes Wharf, 147 Quay Street, Auckland New Zealand 1010 Tel: +64 9 978 2000) includes Spa Auckland, popular Bellini Bar and the White restaurant. Travellers on a short stopover to Auckland in December need not fear the threat of rain with the options of a mineral workout, bespoke cocktail order or fine and fresh seasonal NZ-produce, Homegrown by White.

'Homegrown by White' is the philosophical approach of recently appointed White restaurant at Hilton Auckland Executive Chef Christiano De Martin who writes on the White restaurant website: “A dish should always let the integrity of its ingredients shine. That’s what Homegrown is all about – the best local, seasonal ingredients”.

The Langham Auckland

Conference visitors to Auckland will be familiar with The Langham Auckland as five star hotel accommodation. The Langham Auckland is in a convenient location for conference delegates to The University of Auckland, hosts large scale conferences at the hotel and is a short walk away from the main Auckland city streets and city park gardens.

Staying at The Langham Auckland (83 Symonds Street, Auckland, New Zealand 1140 Tel +64 9 379 5132) for a short luxury break in December offers a display of ‘traditional Christmas’ with a large decorated fir tree, abundant Christmas decorations and a seasonal à la carte menu in Partingtons at The Langham.

All round classic ingredients of The Langham Auckland include in the Lobby Bar the choice of The Langham Signature Afternoon Tea for NZ$30 per person or The Langham Champagne Afternoon Tea for NZ$56 per person. Executive rooms, located on the fifth and sixth floors, are larger and plushly decorated with textile accents of velvet and silks. Lobby Bar and Restaurants staff at The Langham Auckland have expert knowledge in NZ winery estates especially locally sourced bottles of wine. Villa Maria winery is open to the public and a stop off en route from Auckland city to Auckland International Airport.

Located in two distinct areas of Auckland NZ city, Hilton Auckland offers a short stay in the luxury marina zone of Princes Harbour and The Langham Auckland is set in the leafier area of Auckland, a short walk to Auckland city Christmas shopping . Both hotels can offer visitors to New Zealand in December a luxury stopover in Auckland.
