Touche d’éclat – Polishing to Perfection Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour

Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour

A striking rooms refurbishment is in progress at Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour, located in the city’s most tranquil district overlooking languid yachts anchored in the marina. With its tranquil water-filled lobby and serene water features, this hotel gem is being polished to perfection with new furnishings and bedding in all guest rooms and suites in the coming months.

The new decor features a soothing, classic palette of harmonising hues of silver, sea and sky blue indicative of the cool, calm marina location and reflective of New Zealand’s spectacular natural landscapes. Feather-soft velvet headboards and plush cushions add another touch of luxury to our decadent signature Sofitel MyBedTM,, offering highly discerning guests bespoke mattress, base and featherbed combinations. French influences include the use of the distinctive paisley pattern made fashionable in Europe by Empress Josephine, who amassed a collection of over 400 paisley shawls.
