Frommer's Review

The Hyatt Regency's 112 smart new apartment suites and a gymnasium and health spa facility to die for should make you sit up and take notice. The new suites contain kitchenettes, balconies, and swanky bathrooms; the 20 roomy corner suites with wraparound balconies are the pick of the bunch. Connecting rooms make them perfect for families or couples traveling together. Residence suites have kitchens. By the end of 2007, 274 of the original hotel rooms were refurbished and upgraded. It has more of a boutiquey, personalized style than some of the other Inner City biggies -- an unassuming elegance that's very easy to feel comfortable in. Like most of its competitors, it offers enticing extras in club-level rooms, but even standard rooms are a rich reward after a hard day of sightseeing. Come here for the best health spa, pool, and gymnasium of any New Zealand hotel.

Facilities: Restaurant; bar; heated indoor pool; gym; Jacuzzi; 2 saunas; concierge; tour bookings; car rentals; business center; secretarial services; 24-hr. room service; massage; 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.
