"Eccentric, avant-garde and unapologetically bold, SO/ Auckland is an artsy urban getaway with inspired guestrooms and a fashionable culinary scene."

A self-described rebellious hotel, SO/ Auckland is not your average getaway. Inspired, avant-garde and unapologetically bold, this is a hotel for the rule-breakers, the maximalists and the uber-fashionable. And – thanks to a prime location in the Britomart District of downtown Auckland – the hotel’s stylish guests are perfectly placed to keep their fingers on the pulse of everything going on in the City of Sails.

Cross the hotel’s threshold and prepare to be transported into a different world. Darkly whimsical and artsy as can be, the lobby looks like a high fashion take on a Doctor Seuss fever dream. And it works – shockingly well, in fact. Past the dark marble floors and walls, zany furniture and lighting fixtures that look eerily similar to eyeballs, the hotel's rooms and suites await. Inspired by Auckland’s volcanic origin, these spaces are a touch more subdued than the lobby, while still feeling delightfully eccentric.

And it works – shockingly well, in fact. Past the dark marble floors and walls, zany furniture and lighting fixtures that look eerily similar to eyeballs, the hotel's rooms and suites await. Inspired by Auckland’s volcanic origin, these spaces are a touch more subdued than the lobby, while still feeling delightfully eccentric. Bold walls, evocative art and throw pillows emblazoned with optical illusions create these intriguing spaces which are decked out with all the high-tech mod cons one could ask for. Blocky marble bathrooms channel a cubist vibe, and all accommodations have stylish standalone bathtubs.

You can expect to be sufficiently wined and dined without ever needing to leave the hotel thanks to a vibrant assortment of venues for food and drink – including an experimental French patisserie called Javalab which is set to open on the horizon. The restaurant Harbour Society is a reimagining of French cuisine with breathtaking views, a snazzy dining room and inclusive menus that thoughtfully cater to vegetarian and gluten-free guests. Set on the rooftop is HI-SO, where you’ll find some of the best cocktails (and some of the best views) in town. This stylish spot is a draw for hotel guests and locals alike and tends to be a lively affair – if you’re looking for a quiet drink or a peaceful nightcap, best search elsewhere. MIXO, the hotel’s lobby bar, is a stylish spot for a drink and a light bite before heading out for the evening – or really just before heading upstairs to the rooftop.

Though there’s no spa in the hotel itself, guests can visit SO/ Auckland’s sister property Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour for indulgent treatments at the Sofitel Spa. And you needn’t leave the hotel at all to get a workout in; a trendy fitness centre is equipped with all the latest gear, and a twenty-metre luxury heated lap pool features absolutely dazzling views.
