Hilton Hotel
Most name-brand business accommodations are located downtown, an area that rolls up the sidewalk at 5 p.m. sharp. The Hilton Hotel is an exception. Built in the shape of a ship’s prow, the modernist white-and-glass building sits on Princess Wharf, cleaving Auckland Harbor. The maritime theme extends to the 161 modern, well-designed rooms, many of which feature fantastic water views (the Bow Suites take top billing). Although the Hilton also houses White, one of Auckland’s best restaurants, perhaps its most striking feature is the rooftop pool, the glass end of which juts out, suspended above the street. A top choice for business travelers, the hotel also makes a great home base for vacationers.
