Auckland has officially welcomed New Zealand’s first Hotel Indigo to the neighbourhood. The “City of Sails” sets the backdrop for this boutique upper-upscale hotel, drawing inspiration from local artists for its design, service, amenities, food and beverage. The 225-room hotel is part of a mixed-use development in Auckland Central, with stunning views of the city and Auckland’s iconic harbour. It's among Auckland’s tallest buildings, maintaining the façade of the original historic building with a new world-class hotel to accompany and honour its heritage listing.
