Auckland
Sleek contemporary tower with warm interiors and a strong commitment to Māori and Pacific cultural storytelling. The art program was curated with input from Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei — a Nike Savvas installation anchors the lobby and Fiona Pardington photographs hang in every room. Modern luxury pitched squarely at discerning business and leisure travelers who want the harbour front and centre.
Specify harbour view at booking — city-facing rooms look inland and miss the point entirely
Why It Matters
New Zealand's first luxury 6 Green Star hotel, and one of the first properties globally to debut InterContinental's 2023 brand evolution. The Advieh restaurant is legitimately award-winning — Hotel Restaurant of the Year 2024 and one hat for two consecutive years. The building is a genuine landmark on the Auckland waterfront with arguably the best harbour-facing address in the city.
Opened in January 2024, InterContinental Auckland sits right at the water's edge on Waitematā Harbour at the halo address of One Queen Street. The glass tower anchors the $1 billion NZD Commercial Bay precinct — walk out the lobby and you're in retail, a ferry terminal is across the street, and Britomart Train Station is steps away. All 139 rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, with the majority facing the harbour. There's no pool, but Advieh — the in-house restaurant led by Chef Gareth Stewart — won Hotel Restaurant of the Year 2024 and earned one hat at the Cuisine Good Food Awards for two consecutive years. New Zealand's first luxury 6 Green Star certified hotel.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Classic Room
Entry-level rooms that aren't really entry-level. At 34–37 sqm they're a decent size for a city hotel, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing either harbour or city views. Choose between a King or twin-Queen configuration. Every room has Byredo toiletries, a rain shower, smart TV with casting, Bluetooth soundbar, and a Fiona Pardington photograph on the wall — plus a Whariki woven panel commissioned from the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei weaving collective.
1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds · 35 sqm
Junior Suite
Same 54 sqm footprint as a Premium Room but reconfigured as a proper suite with a King bed and a separate seating area. The star attraction is the deep soaking bathtub positioned to capture the harbour view — described by the hotel as 'unlike any other experience in Auckland.' Floor-to-ceiling windows all round.
1 King Bed · 54 sqm
One Bedroom Suite
Ranging from 56 to 73 sqm depending on the specific unit and view orientation, the One Bedroom Suite is a full suite with a proper living room separate from the bedroom. Deep soaking bathtub, rain shower, and the full suite amenity package. Some configurations offer particularly sweeping harbour views from multiple aspects.
1 King Bed · 64 sqmPremium Room
At 54 sqm these rooms are noticeably more spacious than the Classic tier, configured with two Queen beds — good for two travelers who want a proper living area. All the same in-room technology and Byredo amenities as Classic, plus BYREDO skincare kits when booked on certain packages. Still the same floor-to-ceiling window treatment.
2 Queen Beds · 54 sqmPresidential Suite
The top of the house at 107 sqm, the Presidential Suite overlooks the sparkling harbour and is the hotel's definitive statement of luxury. King bed, the full suite treatment, and the kind of space that makes a long stay actually feel like a long stay rather than just a prolonged hotel room. Contact the hotel directly for pricing.
