Frommer's Review

There's no other Hilton in the world like the boutique-style Hilton Auckland, which opened in 2001. It's almost surrounded by water, perched on the end of Princes Wharf like the giant ship that inspired it and like those that tie up alongside it. Rooms are modern, sophisticated, stylish -- not overly large in some cases, but always exquisitely furnished, with fabulous bathrooms and amazing sea views. If you want super views, take one of the 12 deluxe corner rooms that feature two whole walls of glass. The suites are shaped like the bow of a ship and boast vast decks. Ask about the new Presidential Suite for ultimate luxury. The hotel is right in the heart of Viaduct Basin, amid the best restaurants and bars in Auckland.

Facilities: Restaurant; bar; glass-fronted heated outdoor pool suspended from 4th-floor bridge; gym w/trainer; concierge; tour bookings; car rentals; secretarial services; 24-hr. room service; massages and beauty therapy at adjacent Spa de Seville; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; on-call doctor/dentist.

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.
