Urban Calm by the Coast: Experience The Hotel Britomart

The Hotel Britomart

A Seamless Blend of Heritage and Modern Design

Nestled in the heart of Auckland’s vibrant waterfront precinct, The Hotel Britomart offers a stay like no other. This architecturally stunning property stands as a thoughtful reinterpretation of heritage charm, designed by Cheshire Architects to honour the surrounding brick warehouses while introducing a refined, contemporary sensibility. Every brick, tile and timber panel is there for a reason—nothing here is accidental, everything is considered.

From its handcrafted brick façade to its deeply sustainable ethos, this award-winning hotel exemplifies smart, soulful travel.

Thoughtful Rooms That Soothe and Inspire

With 99 intimate guest rooms and five exceptional Landing Suites, The Hotel Britomart delivers more than just a place to sleep—it offers a peaceful urban retreat. Interiors are lined with natural timber and stone, with soft lighting, built-in furniture, and locally crafted ceramics setting the tone for rest and reconnection.

The Landing Suites raise the bar for luxury stays, with some featuring lush outdoor terraces complete with fireplaces. Each room is designed to feel calm, quiet, and beautifully connected to the spirit of the city outside.

Dine with Purpose at kingi

At the heart of the hotel’s ground floor, kingi (short for kingfish) is a restaurant that celebrates New Zealand’s sustainably sourced seafood, wild game, and seasonal produce. It’s not only a favourite among hotel guests but also a destination for locals who appreciate refined, responsible cuisine.

The hotel’s surrounding laneways offer even more dining options, with cafés, bars and eateries tucked into beautifully restored historic buildings—all just steps from your room.

Gather, Celebrate, and Connect in Style

The Hotel Britomart hosts a suite of elegant, purpose-built event spaces including kingi Private, The Kronfeld Room, and The Libraries. These venues provide flexible and stylish options for corporate meetings, private dinners, or intimate celebrations.

The event offering is as polished as it is personal, with a commitment to sustainable catering and thoughtful service that ensures each gathering feels intentional and memorable.

Where Sustainability Leads the Way

Sustainability is woven into every part of The Hotel Britomart’s operations. A certified 5 Green Star building by the New Zealand Green Building Council and Toitū carbonreduce certified, the hotel is a leader in responsible hospitality. Almost 80% of its construction waste was diverted from landfill, and the majority of in-room amenities are designed and made in New Zealand.

Linens are organic cotton, duvets are made from recycled plastic bottles, and the focus is always on quality with a conscience.

The Best of Auckland, Right Outside

Set in the pedestrian-friendly Britomart neighbourhood, the hotel is surrounded by more than 65 unique bars, boutiques and restaurants. Takutai Square, just outside, is a green oasis in the city, while Auckland’s main ferry terminal, Spark Arena, art galleries, and public transport connections are all within walking distance.

Whether you're exploring the Hauraki Gulf islands by ferry or enjoying cocktails in the courtyard, The Hotel Britomart is the perfect base for your Auckland adventure.
