This upmarket, sustainable brand from IHG Hotels and Resorts is situated in the central business district, a short walk from popular attractions such as the Sky Tower and Viaduct Harbour. Voco Auckland City Centre is within a dual-tower complex, alongside the Holiday Inn Express Auckland City Centre.
Personalised touches in guest rooms make voco a welcome addition to the city's luxury hotel scene. It's the perfect stomping ground for business travellers, with plenty of meeting spaces, a fitness centre and the city's tallest rooftop bar all within its walls.
WHERE IS IT? Sitting proudly in the city centre on the corner of Wyndham and Albert streets, several of the hotel's rooms and suites overlook the harbour.
The hotel lies just a 25-minute drive from the airport, and less than a ten-minute walk to the ferry terminal departing for Waiheke Island, known for its striking landscapes and boutique vineyards. In the city itself, popular restaurants in Britomart and along Viaduct Harbour are a short stroll away, the area being home to lots of outdoor dining options.

Over the past few years, tourism has shot up stratospherically; recent figures from the European Travel Commission show it's grown 86 per cent since 2019. Its GDP per capita has also been increasing, and last year stood at US$8,800, while the average monthly salary is now around 84,000 lek (£704). Foreign direct investment is also on the rise, with countries including Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands targeting sectors such as energy, mining, information and real estate to a value of around US$1.5 billion in 2022, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report. Not bad for a country which used to depend on foreign food aid.
