Auckland's premier luxury hotel offers 316 beautifully appointed rooms and suites connected to the SkyCity entertainment complex. Guests enjoy the rooftop pool and terrace, multiple acclaimed restaurants, a world-class spa, and direct access to the Sky Tower.
The Grand by SkyCity occupies a commanding position at 90 Federal Street in Auckland's central business district, directly connected to the SkyCity entertainment complex and steps from the iconic Sky Tower. The hotel is within a five-minute walk of Britomart transport hub and the waterfront, making it one of the most centrally positioned properties in the city. Federal Street itself is a concentrated restaurant and bar strip, placing the hotel among Auckland's best dining immediately outside its doors.
Opened as part of SkyCity's flagship development, the building's contemporary architecture is purpose-built on a grand scale. The property features 316 rooms and suites spread across multiple floors, ranging from Deluxe Rooms through to One-Bedroom Suites, with many offering elevated CBD panoramas. Bathrooms are marble-appointed and rooms feature premium bedding, large work desks, and strong in-room technology suited to both business and leisure travellers.
Dining options are extensive. The Grand Bistro serves all-day international cuisine with a focus on New Zealand produce, and the hotel's position within the SkyCity complex provides access to several additional restaurants and bars within the connected precinct. Breakfast is a full-service experience drawing on seasonal New Zealand ingredients.
The Grand Spa offers treatments drawing on New Zealand natural ingredients, complemented by a well-equipped gymnasium. The rooftop pool and terrace — one of Auckland's most striking hotel pool settings — provides a retreat above the city skyline with panoramic views north toward the harbour and Waitemata.
Service is polished and oriented toward both leisure and corporate guests. A full concierge desk operates around the clock, valet parking is available, and the hotel's position within the SkyCity entertainment complex provides guests direct access to the casino, theatre venues, and Sky Tower.
