Auckland, the “City of Sails”, one of the most vibrant cities in New Zealand that is famous for its stunning harbors. The city is where modernity meets beautiful nature, making it a unique city worth visiting. No doubt, it’s easy to find the best hotel in Auckland since the city is tourists’ favorite.

The highlight of Auckland is not only the harbors that provide you with breathtaking views. Auckland is home for some well known museums and galleries, including Auckland Art Gallery and The Auckland War Memorial Museum. Parks and nature reserves are almost in every corner, like The Auckland Domain, Western Springs, and Cornwall Park.

Another icon of the city is the SkyTower, where you can ride to the top of the tower and witness the amazing view of Auckland from up there. What an experience it would be!

So, if you’re in for those interesting things to do in Auckland, first you need to book one of these best hotels in Auckland!

Hilton Auckland could be the most unique one, with the nautical theme applied in every room, plus the panoramic view of the sea that lets you enjoy it from inside your own room. Rooms and suites are spacious with floor-to-ceiling windows to provide you the panoramic view they’re proud of.

Of course, we have favorites here. If you’re here for the view, consider spending more budget to book the suites. The King Hilton Bow Suite, for example, offers you the 270-degree harbor view while the King Relaxation Suite offers only 160-degree of harbor view as well. Which one do you prefer?

Hilton Auckland has the best facilities, like their outdoor lap pool! For the in-house dine in, try FISH Restaurant, where you can taste the fresh seafood cooked in the best way ever, while also admiring the view of New Zealand’s ocean around you.
