On the edge of downtown Auckland, opposite the university and leafy Albert Park, the Pullman is in a much quieter location than many of the city’s big, modern hotels yet is still only 10 minutes from the harbour. And despite its size - 14 floors in one building, 17 floors in the adjoining, 321 rooms plus a spa and fleet of meeting rooms - there's an easy-going feel about the place, that's more typical of smaller, independent hotels.
The light-filled, open-plan, ground floor, that flows between reception, bar and restaurant, is a-buzz with people having casual meetings, friends dropping in for coffee or post-work drinkers. The south-facing terrace is popular on sunny days, particularly with an expertly mixed cocktail from the bar. And if you'd prefer to eat in the bar or at one of the communal tables rather than in the restaurant, that's fine, too. The Tapestry Grill specialises in well-aged steaks although there's a good selection of fish and vegetarian dishes - the snapper to be recommended. And you really don't want to skip breakfast; a magnificent buffet from pastrami, focaccia bread, fresh fruit smoothies to the full cooked, eggs how-you-want and pancakes.
Everything about the hotel is generous, from the 25-metre pool - the largest in Auckland - and the indoor-outdoor gym, to the bedrooms. All have King-size beds, large windows and space for a couple of armchairs with the room price increasing the higher the floor level and thus the better view. All share the same uncluttered, masculine style with thick charcoal carpets, a colour palette of greys, taupe and slate-blue, dark-wood furniture and marble-tiled bathrooms. Robes, coffee machines and water are standard. And if you'd prefer more flexibility, there are apartments (from studio to three-bedroom) with no minimum stay requirement.
