Formerly The Langham Auckland, Cordis is one of Auckland's leading luxury hotels featuring 411 sumptuous rooms and New Zealand's most iconic hotel pool. The hotel houses multiple dining venues including Eight Restaurant and Bar, and offers exceptional spa and wellness facilities.
Cordis Auckland stands at 83 Symonds Street on the southern edge of the central business district, a position that offers easy access to both the CBD core and the University of Auckland, with the Sky Tower and Aotea Square reachable in under ten minutes on foot. The hotel occupies a landmark tower building whose height places upper-floor rooms well above the surrounding urban canopy, giving south- and east-facing rooms extended views toward the Waitematā Harbour and the volcanic cones of the Auckland isthmus.
Opened originally as The Langham Auckland, the property was rebranded under the Cordis banner — a Langham Hospitality Group flag positioned for contemporary luxury — while retaining the building's reputation for scale and consistent five-star delivery. The 411-room inventory spans several categories from Deluxe Rooms through One-Bedroom Suites and the Club Cordis tier, which grants lounge access and enhanced service. Rooms are furnished with a warm residential palette and include marble bathrooms, premium bedding, and well-proportioned workspaces.
Eight Restaurant and Bar, the hotel's centrepiece dining venue, arranges its menu around eight live cooking theatres, each running a different culinary tradition — from sushi and robatayaki to handmade pasta and rotisserie. The format means guests can compose a meal across cuisines within a single visit. A separate lounge and bar complement the restaurant for lighter meals and cocktails.
The swimming pool at Cordis is one of Auckland's most photographed hotel pools — a large indoor-outdoor facility with ambient lighting and a sense of space unusual in city hotels. Spa with Altitude, the hotel's wellness centre, offers a full treatment menu alongside heated relaxation areas. The gymnasium is well-equipped for extended stays.
Service is polished and oriented toward both business travellers and leisure guests. Club Cordis lounge access adds private check-in, evening canapés, and dedicated concierge service, making it a practical upgrade for longer stays or those conducting corporate business in the city.
