A joint partnership between Pro-invest Hotels and IHG Hotels & Resorts, the launch of voco Auckland City Centre isthe voco brand’s first foray into New Zealand and signals the continued growth of the brand across the globe.

With an ideal position in the centre of Auckland on the corner of Albert and Wyndham Street, the new hotel is part of a dual tower development that also includes the 294 room Holiday Inn Express Auckland City Centre which is due to open later this month.

Each of the stylishly appointed guest rooms and suites feature plush, sustainable bedding with cocoon-like comfort, hand-picked artworks, smart in-room technology and stylish marble bathrooms that feature eco-conscious rain showers and amenities from Antipodes.

Designed by interior architecture practice, Richards Stanisich, the new guest rooms and suites offer a tranquil place to unwind, featuring a moody palette of deep blues and charcoal greys complemented by splashes of the signature voco yellow, warm timber tones with brass accents and unique artworks.

The hotel’s cosy ground floor all-day Italian trattoria, Mozzarella & Co serves a-la-carte and buffet breakfast as well as artisan pizzas and pasta for lunch and dinner, complemented by a boutique wine list, beers and cocktails.

The glamorous Art Deco inspired bar will feature an open deck and moody, sumptuous interiors enticing guests to enjoy a tipple either inside or out.
