SO/ Auckland
Downtown CBD, Customs Street East; Auckland, New Zealand
SO/ Auckland gives the downtown hotel a more theatrical identity, drawing on its former Reserve Bank setting through rich furnishings and touches of gold. Rooms look towards the city or Waitematā Harbour, with statement bathtubs in most categories adding to the sense of indulgence. The social spaces are central to the experience. Harbour Society combines elevated views with a seasonal, grill-focused menu, while HI-SO takes cocktails to the rooftop. MIXO provides a lobby-bar option and Javalab offers a more casual café setting, creating a useful progression through the day. SO/SPA supplies the quieter counterpart with treatments in an urban retreat. This is especially appealing to visitors who enjoy design-led hotels with a lively evening personality. Its downtown address keeps restaurants, shopping and the waterfront within practical reach. Choose SO/ for a city break that treats dinner, drinks and the bedroom itself as part of the entertainment, with the skyline helping to connect the experience to Auckland.
