Park Hyatt Auckland
Auckland, New Zealand · Park Hyatt · Grand Luxury
New Zealand's first Park Hyatt opened in September 2020 in Auckland's Wynyard Quarter — a precinct reclaimed from the former Tank Farm industrial site catalysed by the 2000 America's Cup. Designed by Ali Reda of ar+d (Singapore) with local Bossley Architects, the building's bronze stainless-steel mesh facade references a Māori cloak; its seven-storey atrium replicates the interior of a wharenui. Māori artist Lyonel Grant carved the entry waka, and tukutuku-inspired fabric panels by Beronia Scott line all 195 guestrooms.
- 195 rooms

About Park Hyatt Auckland
- Every one of the 195 guestrooms contains a custom tukutuku-inspired fabric panel by Māori artist Beronia Scott — the first time this traditional weaving art form has been systematically embedded at this scale in a New Zealand hotel.
- The hotel's bronze stainless-steel mesh cladding was engineered to shimmer with reflected natural light by day and glow like a lantern at night — a direct architectural metaphor for a Māori cloak wrapping the building.
- Wynyard Quarter, where the hotel stands, was previously the 'Tank Farm': a petroleum-storage precinct that began its transformation into Auckland's premier waterfront neighbourhood only after Emirates Team New Zealand won the America's Cup in 1995, with the hotel site itself cleared of fuel infrastructure just years before construction began.
- The atrium's irregular timber fins rise from floor to roof in direct reference to the pou and heke structural elements of a Māori wharenui — a design decision validated through the hotel's collaboration with iwi Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, whose carving teams also created the exterior pou.
- Entry-level rooms start at 506 sq ft (47 m²).
History
Park Hyatt Auckland is a sophisticated waterfront hotel overlooking Waitematā Harbour in Auckland's Wynyard Quarter, a redeveloped docklands precinct. The seven-story property features a dramatic central atrium and rooms arranged around the perimeter with harbour views. It incorporates Māori design elements like custom tukutuku panels and a carved waka sculpture.
The hotel opened in 2020, inspired by the Maori wharenui concept of gathering, and sits alongside other luxury properties with Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour four minutes on foot.
The setting
