Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Excellent service. As a repeat guest I feel very welcomed & valued. I really enjoy the well appointed & great size gym, pool & steam room area. The recently updated floor covering in the changing rooms is a huge improvement. The service in the chandelier lounge always leaves me feeling appreciated ...

Grand Millennium Auckland
We were upgraded to a suite which was great. So much room. While some of the common spaces are starting to show their age the room was great and fairly modern.
