"Stayed at the Grand Chancellor Auckland and honestly, the rooms were great, the location was spot on, but let’s be real—the true five-star experience was the bar staff. I don’t know what kind of magic training they’ve had, but I’m convinced they could mix a cocktail blindfolded while simultaneously solving world peace."
"The hotel itself has a really cool vibe throughout. Everything is well-maintained and also retro chic. The restaurant is fantastic. We went to high tea and cannot say enough about how wonderful the offerings were. The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms were super comfortable and clean. Also, have to say the tub was fantastic and very deep so made for a wonderful evening hot soak with bath salts readily available!! The only thing I will say is a possible negative is that the parking garage...
"Modern and clean. Rooms have up to date technology and automations (the blinds and lights open and turn on upon arrival). You will not regret staying here. Tons of shopping and food just a few steps away. Easily the best place to stay in Auckland proper. "
"Great location, very quiet rooms. Plenty of restaurants around. Loads if options. Wayerfront and sky tower within easy walking distances. Onsite parking is only through valet which is $$ however handy and easy. Will be back!"
"I loved this hotel. Honestly, this is now one of my top 5 hotels to stay. The hotel and room were esthetically beautiful. The staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I loved the sustainability focus. It was in a great location and I had a beautiful view.
I will definitely be back. "
"The location is very good. Near to shopping street ,super market. The room is clean and view is nice ,
night view also.
Bathtub, kitchen, microwave, ,refrigerator, swimming pool, fitness gym, all we want is there . (dish washer is out of order . The repairman can't come during our stay.)
We have never heard of Avani before, but we were satisfied with your hotel.

"This was my third time staying at HIE in Auckland , that should say it all. The staff is always welcoming, accommodating and super friendly. The entire facility is clean and that is at the top of my must-haves. Will always return here when passing through Auckland."
