Frommer's Review

Fresh from a sumptuous multi-million dollar makeover, this business favorite is now Auckland's plushest hotel. I loved it. They have service down to a fine art and staff are the friendliest in the city. All rooms are opulent but the four floors of Club Rooms offer that little bit extra: king-size beds, robes, slippers, and lovely marble bathrooms, plus Club Lounge access and business facilities. There are also 12 elegant one-bedroom suites with connecting rooms. Treat yourself to dinner in the award-winning Partington's Restaurant -- it's a feast for the eye and the stomach. Overall, the Langham is more traditional than the Hilton or the Ascott Metropolis and it's my new favorite.

Facilities: 4 restaurants (Partington's [fine dining], SBF [Brasserie], SPE [bar food], The Winery); 2 bars; heated rooftop lap pool; health club w/fully equipped gym and trainer; Jacuzzi; 2 saunas; concierge; tour bookings; car rentals; courtesy bus to city; business center; secretarial services; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms; on-call doctor/dentist; multi-lingual staff.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
