The Hotel Britomart, Auckland, New Zealand

Poised on the edge of Auckland’s sparkling Waitematā Harbour, The Hotel Britomart offers a refined escape where contemporary luxury meets rich heritage. Situated in the vibrant Britomart precinct, just steps from the waterfront, this award-winning hotel is a sanctuary of elegance in the city’s most sought-after location. Designed by the renowned Cheshire Architects, the hotel’s distinctive exterior – crafted from hand-made brick – echoes the character of the surrounding historic buildings, while its interiors offer a serene retreat of natural materials and sophisticated detailing. As New Zealand’s first 5 Green Star hotel, sustainability and design excellence are at the heart of every element. 

Proudly New Zealand-owned and operated, the Hotel Britomart is the centrepiece of Auckland's most vibrant downtown neighbourhood. An intimate laneway links the hotel to beautifully restored heritage warehouses, now home to designer boutiques, art galleries, and some of Auckland’s most acclaimed restaurants and bars. Among them is kingi, The Hotel Britomart’s signature restaurant, serving sustainably sourced seafood and wild game in a warm, relaxed setting. Just beyond the hotel’s doorstep, discover plant-lined pedestrian streets, luxury shopping from local and international brands, and the inviting green space of Takutai Square. The hotel’s prime waterfront location places you within walking distance of the ferry terminal for day trips to Waiheke Island, Spark Arena for live performances, and a wealth of cultural and coastal experiences. 

The Hotel Britomart is ideal for travellers who value thoughtful design, genuine connection, and a sense of place. It's perfect for urban explorers, design lovers, business travellers who appreciate quiet, and holidaymakers who want to immerse themselves in Aotearoa from the moment they check in. It’s also for guests who care about the planet but don’t want to compromise on comfort, as sustainability is a key design focus of the hotel. 

The hotel offers 99 guest rooms and five luxury Landing Suites. The snug guest rooms are thoughtfully designed as calm retreats from the city buzz, while the five Landing Suites have a strong connection to The Landing, a rural retreat in the Bay of Islands.
