So/ Auckland Hotel is a rebellious lifestyle hotel perfect for those who like to explore, be entertained and discover a city's nightlife while also experiencing a luxurious touch of comfort. This audacious hotel, designed in collaboration with renowned New Zealand fashion house WORLD, is extravagantly and divisively bold. One of the most anticipated hotel openings in New Zealand, So/ Auckland boasts 130 luxurious rooms and is alive with avant-garde elements of Auckland's volcanic origins.
Guests can enjoy five meeting rooms, and an 11am check-out with 12pm available on request. Located in Auckland Central Business District, the hotel is smack bang in the revived foodie and shopping district of downtown Auckland. So/ Auckland offers mainstream fashion stores along Queen Street and trendy boutiques and oyster bars in the heritage buildings of Britomart. For those looking to explore, experience nearby fashionable boutiques and galleries, Viaduct Precinct and Wynyard Quarter with cafes, restaurants, and nightlife along the waterfront. So/ Auckland sits within 800 meters of key attractions such as Te Waihorotiu and 500 meters from the ferry terminal, making it a perfect location for your urban adventure.
The rooms feature a complimentary mini bar, Nespresso coffee machine and free WiFi. The natural light bounces off the harbor, while the solidly black décor across floors, ceilings, and walls lends itself to a sense of thoughtless practicality. Awake refreshed in your comfortable room before heading to the breakfast room for an á la carte selection offering higher-end options, such as halloumi salad and some very pretty berry buttermilk pancakes.
Dining at So/ Auckland is an experience to remember with the Harbour Society restaurant. Here, the head culinary designer, chef Marc de Passorio, former owner of the Michelin-starred L'Esprit de la Violette in Aix-en-Provence, serves reimagined Asian-inspired dishes alongside exceptional views of the Waitemata Harbour and Auckland skyline. When you're ready for a drink, enjoy a welcoming sip at MIXO bar in the lobby or take in the stunning views from the rooftop bar.
