Built from the ground up by a team of elite, design-driven architects, ceramicists and artists, The Hotel Britomart is more than just a place to rest your head. From its handmade brickwork to the delightful tōtara tree which greets you in reception, this new Auckland bolthole is a labour of love.
New Zealand’s first 5 Green Star hotel, the timber-lined rooms use sustainable bed linens, slippers made from recycled materials, handmade ceramics, and natural hair and skincare products from Sans. The building was constructed consciously, with environmentally friendly paints, responsibly sourced timber and efficient bathroom fittings. The certification also means the building is pleasant to be in heated efficiently, with lots of fresh air and natural lighting.
Thankfully, honeymooners and city-breakers needn’t roam far for a bite to eat. Artfully positioned amid the bustle of award-winning eateries, early risers can find buttery pastries and hot coffee at Daily Bread. After a long day exploring the city, you can explore Kingi’s menu of fresh and sustainable seafood. And night owls can grab a tipple (or three) at The Deck, a rooftop balcony bar perfect for watching the sun dip below the Waitematā Harbour.
Make sure to clear some space in your suitcase and make the most of the neighbourhood’s offering of cool boutiques. Seasoned shoppers will recognise the iconic Tiffany’s blue flag, and many of New Zealand’s most celebrated fashion brands are on your doorstep, including Karen Walker, Maggie Marilyn, Deadly Ponies, Juliette Hogan and WORLD.
From its hot location to unparalleled interiors game, The Hotel Britomart is the perfect base for first-time visitors, loved-up honeymooners and couples dreaming of a small city elopement.
