Last May, Ohtel Auckland opened at 32 Market Place on the Viaduct. This boutique hotel exudes a unique and quirky vibe, delivers exceptional service and an unforgettable accommodation experience for guests.
All rooms are designed with modern mid-century furnishings and kiwiana artwork, providing a luxurious yet unpretentious experience and many personalised touches, including all the usual five-star items, plus a few you may not expect, with a focus on easy to use in room tech. All suites feature standalone baths in the guest room, and are equipped with record players along with classic vinyl for complete relaxation.
Located on leafy quiet Market Place, only 100m from the vibrant Viaduct Harbour, Ohtel offers guests access to the outdoor swimming pool, spa, sauna and a fully equipped gym, as well as secured car-parking onsite, guest restaurant and complimentary use of Ohtel bicycles for seeing the sights.
Ohtel Auckland joins Ohtel Wellington which was designed and built by architect Alan Blundell, who after a trip to New York in 2000 was inspired to create a baby ‘design hotel’. A few years later, a small villa on a steep 162sqm site near the waterfront (just before the start of the Oriental Parade) was discovered, and after negotiating to purchase the property, Alan set about designing and building the 10-room, four-storey structure, which he furnished in high-quality mid-century designs and pieces of contemporary New Zealand art and ceramics. Ohtel exudes a distinctive Kiwi flavour and in particular a unique Wellington flair which has no doubt been enjoyed by many of you over the past two decades.
Ohtel Auckland joins Ohtel Wellington as the Village Accommodation Group’s second boutique hotel, bringing an environmental and sustainability emphasis as well as offering guests a personalised stay, ensuring that their needs are met, and that each visitor enjoys a 5 star break.
