The place
The hotel sits at 33 Lorne Street in Auckland's Arts District, in the central city near Aotea Square, the Auckland Art Gallery, and the Sky Tower.
The concept
Radisson Hotel Group's debut in New Zealand applies the gallery-style, art-driven language of the Radisson RED brand to a 322-room downtown tower, with theatrical lighting and installations referencing Auckland's creative scene; the hotel is also positioned as one of the city's few pet-friendly stays.
Dining & wellness
An all-day dining venue and bar sit at ground level, while the rooftop — billed as New Zealand's largest outdoor rooftop space, holding up to 219 guests — adds a bar, restaurant and event rooms with harbour and Sky Tower views.
