Pullman Auckland Hotel and Apartments is built for visitors who want space and a position on the green side of the city centre. It stands near Albert Park, the Victorian-era park at the top of Queen Street, which puts it beside the Auckland Art Gallery and the University of Auckland, and a ten-minute walk or less from Queen Street’s shops and the city centre. As the name suggests, it combines hotel rooms with apartment-style accommodation, which suits families, groups and longer stays where a bigger layout is more important than a boutique feel. Pullman is an upscale brand, so the expectation is for well-equipped rooms, good service and the range of facilities of a large hotel. It is a strong choice for travellers who want to be central without being in the middle of the nightlife, and for art lovers who want to walk to the gallery.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on the hill above the waterfront, so the Downtown Ferry Terminal and Britomart station are a downhill walk of about fifteen minutes, and the return trip is uphill. Albert Park is on the doorstep, with its paths and flower displays, and the Auckland Art Gallery is a short stroll away. Queen Street runs down to the waterfront, with plenty of shops and restaurants on the way.
Rooms and apartments
The hotel offers a range of room types, from standard rooms to larger apartment layouts. If you are staying several nights, an apartment with kitchen facilities can save money on meals and give a family room to spread out, but check the category details on the booking page, since layouts and facilities vary. Higher floors can offer city and park views.
Who it suits
Families, groups, longer-stay visitors and business travellers who want space and a central address. Art and museum lovers will appreciate the walk to the gallery, and the Domain and museum are a bus ride or a longer walk away. It is less convenient than the waterfront hotels for early ferry departures, though taxis and buses are easy.
Good to know
Breakfast and parking are normally extra unless included in your rate, and parking in the central city carries a daily fee. Facilities and room types change over time, so confirm the current details on the booking page, and book early for major events or university graduation periods, when the area can fill.
