Auckland, New Zealand · SkyCity · Core Luxury
Horizon by SkyCity opened on 1 August 2024, five years late. The 303-room tower, a curve of glass fins by Moller Architects with Warren and Mahoney, the practice behind the Sky Tower, was meant to open in 2019. The October 2019 fire in the New Zealand International Convention Centre next door held it up. With these rooms the SkyCity precinct reached 938 keys across three hotels.
