IHG opens second Auckland hotel in two weeks

Property joins voco Auckland in New Zealand’s first dual branded hotel development

A joint partnership between Pro-invest Hotels and IHG Hotels & Resorts, the newly opened 294-room Holiday Inn Express Auckland City Centre is part of a dual-hotel development which includes the voco Auckland City Centre which opened for business on May 22.

The CBD-based property is the second Holiday Inn Express Hotel opened in New Zealand this year joining sister property, Holiday Inn Express Queenstown.

Boasting a contemporary design palate intended to create a relaxed, warm environment from the lobby to the top floor, the hotel guest rooms feature walk-in showers, black-out blinds, an efficient work station and high-quality bedding with a choice of pillows.

Each room features floor to ceiling windows giving guests prime views of Auckland and its surrounds. 

The property offers guests fast check-in and unlimited fast wifi and three flexible meeting rooms that can accommodate up to 40 people along with a 24-hour reception, fitness room and a self-service laundry. 

Food and beverage options include an ‘Express Start Breakfast Grab & Go, option, the Great Room and from August, Bar Albert on level 38 of the hotel.

Looking to reduce its environmental footprint, the hotel also offers ‘A Greener Stay’ initiative, which gives guests the option of reducing their environmental footprint when staying two or more nights by opting out of housekeeping services helping to save energy, water use and waste output.

This strong commitment to sustainability means it is already on track to achieve Green Engage Certification.

In addition, the hotel is committed to using energy efficient equipment and systems throughout the property and chooses not to use single use plastics, using bulk amenities instead of one-time use disposable bathroom amenities.

Pro-invest Hotels Chief Operating Officer, Shantha de Silva said the company was delighted to be opening New Zealand’s second Holiday Inn Express property with Holiday Inn Express Auckland City Centre, offering travellers comfort, convenience, and affordability in the heart of the city.

“Much thought has been put into every detail of this hotel and we are very proud to have the Holiday Inn Express brand sitting alongside voco Hotel in New Zealand’s first dual branded hotel development,” she said.

“This year has been a year of ‘firsts’ for Pro-invest Hotels and the opening of this hotel tower marks a major milestone for our business.

“We were the first to bring the voco brand to New Zealand and the first to bring Holiday Inn Express to the country with our Queenstown property.

“Now, with quarantine free travel returning to New Zealand we look forward to welcoming travellers to Auckland and can’t wait for our guests to experience these new properties.”
