The year 1912 was a historic year not only because this was the year the unsinkable Titanic succumbed to the horrors of the ocean waters; this was also the very same year when the lobby and entrance of one of the oldest Auckland accommodation facilities was put up. Over the years, the City Hotel in Hobson Street has retained its historic character and charm despite some undergoing minor fixes and enhancements.
Today, it now has a new building that houses 138 rooms all decked with modern furnishings and facilities. Its prime location will be a very big hit for tourists since it is conveniently located near the town’s business and entertainment districts. Aside from dining and relaxing in the restaurants and shops outside it; guests can very well enjoy the delicious dishes at the City Hotel’s very own Bing’s Restaurant as well as relax and escape from stress at the Purity Day Spa. It is convenient and friendly for both the leisure and business travelers.
An accommodation that is this rich with history is quite hard to come by. It would be a waste to let the opportunity pass of staying in such a place that holds a piece of the past.
