SKYCITY Grand Hotel Auckland

The rooms and hotel in general were nicer than expected, and service was good. While this hotel may not have been as fancy as five stars found elsewhere, it was great by Auckland standards. I would definitely recommend people pay the bit extra to stay in the Skycity Grand as opposed to the regular Skycity hotel across the road, particularly if you use a website to get a good deal. Easy access to casino and other venues in Auckland city, and you can normally get package deals with entrance to the spa facilities, or meals / drinks at the many restaurants and bars in the complex.

Unique Quality: One of the newest and nicest hotels in Auckland, great views of the sky tower, fantastic location.

When approaching Sky City Hotel it doesn`t look that big; as soon as one reaches its giant entrance-hall, rememberances of a mixture of Las Vegas Hotels, railway-stations and casinos come into the mind!
At Sky City everything is gigantic: above all the 328 m Sky Tower, the entrance hall of its 2 hotels taking several floors, the choice of 10 restaurants and bars and 2 casinos. The whole building hustling and bustling and everything crowded with guests, tourists, visitors, businesspeople and staff.
Sky City Hotel is the somewhat less luxurious compared to the 2nd, Sky City Grand. Amenities are plenty, rooms large (but partly needing some refurbishment dearly) and the other facilities excellent, as a heated rooftop pool, a Sauna and Gymnasium. Staff are helpful, but not as friendly as could be expected from a 4-star house. Restaurant and breakfasts are expensive (straight across the street are some very good coffee-shops !)

Unique Quality: Centrally located at the rim of Aucklands business- and shopping-district, in about 15 minutes walking distance to the harbour. Access to the Sky Tower is prohibitively expensive,yet offers breath-taking views for more than 80 kilometres in every direction.So if one doesn`t mind to stay at a railway-station / Las Vegas - like hotel, its the right place !

we checked into this hotel on a Christmas afternoon last year. when it reached evening, me, my sister and my cousins decided to brave the cold weather and go swimming(most shops were closed anyway). so we ran to the pool dressed in normal t-shirts and berms(didn't have our swimsuits and trunk) and ran into the staff there. actually no one's supposed to swim without swimming gear...but he went like "oh what the heck its christmas doesn't matter anyway" that's what i call the christmas spirit man! at night the skycity tower is lighted up and its this beautiful neon green colour! it was such a refreshing time! there was also this bungy jump you could do at the tower! the rooms are great and when you want some fresh air you can just step out onto the space outside your room and take a breather! i would definitely recommend this hotel to stay if one is in auckland!

A really good quality hotel, right in the heart of the CBD!

Rooms were LARGE with king size beds, and all the mods cons one would expect! Staff were fantastic - extremely helpful & always professional, as too were complex staff in general.

The hotel itself is within the Skycity Complex - consisting of the Casino & the Sky Tower itself, so guest have the addition of being on the doorstep so to speak. In the atrium, is the one stop shop for all tourist info - the ISITE store - which contains information on everything you could posssibly want to know about!

Directions: At the base of the Sky Tower!
