The hype
Travelers obsess over the 'Dream Beds' and the Chuan Spa, but often complain about the distance to the ferry terminal.
Cordis, Auckland
$160-280/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want a 'big city' luxury resort vibe with a heated rooftop pool, but don't mind being a 20-minute walk from the waterfront.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- The new Pinnacle Tower rooms are massive and ultra-modern
- Heated rooftop pool is open year-round (rare for Auckland)
- Eight Restaurant's 8-kitchen buffet is a local legend
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A tale of two hotels: the new Pinnacle Tower is world-class luxury, while the original wing feels like a well-maintained but aging aunt.
Αξιολόγηση από @miaandtheworld: I honestly didn't want to get out of bed. Waking up to the sun rising over the Sky Tower with a hot tea in hand was the perfect start to my Auckland trip. The room felt so cozy yet luxurious, and that morning light is just unreal.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές
Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the rooftop pool is heated to approx 27°C (80°F) year-round, making it usable even in winter.
How far is the Sky Tower?
It's about a 15-20 minute walk downhill, or a quick Uber ride.
Is breakfast included?
Not in the base rate. It costs ~$45 NZD per person if not booked in a package, but it's one of the best spreads in the city.
Can I park my own car?
There is no on-site self-parking. You must use Valet ($60 NZD) or park at a nearby Wilson Parking garage (e.g., 100 Symonds St) for ~$25-40 NZD.
What is the difference between the towers?
Pinnacle Tower (opened 2021) is modern luxury with floor-to-ceiling windows. The Original Tower is classic/traditional with smaller windows and older bathrooms.
Is there a resort fee?
No explicit resort fee, but a 2.5% credit card surcharge applies.
Εσωτερικές Συμβουλές
- ✨
The 'Pinnacle Tower' Club Lounge on Level 14 is vastly superior to the old lounge — verify which one your room access grants.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes to Karangahape Road (K-Road) for Auckland's coolest dining scene, skipping the hotel restaurants for a night.
- ✨
Request a 'turn down' service if you want fresh towels in the evening; it's not always automatic in standard rooms.
5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The hotel sits opposite a historic cemetery (Symonds Street Cemetery) — actually a lovely park for a walk.
💡The 'free' shuttle to the city is a small van and fills up fast; don't rely on it for tight reservations.
💡The shower head in the original rooms is notoriously low for tall people (under 6ft clearance).
💡You can order food from the bar to the pool loungers, but service can be slow on weekends.
💡The 'Dream Bed' is soft — if you need a firm mattress, you might struggle.
