Ohtel Auckland is a boutique 5-star hotel at 32 Market Place in the Auckland CBD, a few minutes from the Viaduct Harbour. The hotel has 10 rooms over four storeys. It was designed by the architect Alan Blundell and opened in 2008. Its mid-century furniture and kiwiana artwork give it a quirky, distinctly kiwi feel. The suites have working record players with vinyl, and luxurious baths, and every room has one-button touch screens to contact the hosts.
Guests can use an outdoor swimming pool, a spa, a sauna, a gym and car parking. The Ohtel Pantry in the lobby serves specialty coffee, freshly baked goodies, bar snacks, local wine and craft beer, and an all-day brunch menu is offered. The hotel has been run by Village Accommodation Group since 2017. Our pick in the CBD for a stay near the harbour with a record player in the room.
