Set only 600 metres from Victoria Park Market in Auckland Central Business District with mainstream fashion stores along Queen Street, and trendy boutiques and oyster bars in the heritage buildings of Britomart, the comfortable 4-star Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland comes with a private art gallery. Featuring a restaurant and a shopping area, the smoke-free hotel is located a short way from the vast public plaza "Aotea Square".

Location

This Auckland hotel has a prime setting approximately 25 minutes on foot from the Domain Wintergardens, while natural sights like the midsized public Western Park are just 1.7 km away. The Grand Chancellor Auckland is merely 5 minutes on foot from Wellesley Street / Hobson Street bus stop and in close proximity to SKYCITY Entertainment Group Casino.

Entertainment options in the area feature the vibrant SKYCITY Auckland Casino 400 m from the accommodation.

Rooms

Overlooking the sea, the 194 rooms are appointed with ironing equipment and an air conditioner, as well as modern facilities such as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. The rooms are fitted with a private bathroom. Featuring a walk-in shower and a separate toilet, the bathrooms also have hair dryers and bath sheets.

Eat & Drink

Food options for dinner are available at the on-site Forester Grill restaurant. There is also a restaurant with different New Zealand dishes in the area.

Leisure & Business

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland offers its guests the opportunity to enjoy fitness classes at a fitness suite located on the premises.

“In my opinion, what stands out here is the location, placing you in Auckland's active business district, steps from dining and fashion. I noted that the fitness center and in-house restaurant add convenience, while the streamlined rooms provide welcome quiet. For visitors seeking a practical base, this property certainly merits consideration.”

Fantastic CBD Stay

ample storage excellent shower convenient location easy access
I found ample storage space in the room. The shower head was GREAT, providing excellent water pressure. The location was ideal, with easy access to various sites. Convenient bus routes and hop-on-hop-off bus services were nearby.
The bathroom sliding door offered minimal soundproofing which reduced privacy slightly.

constant noise missed cleaning
I was excited about my stay. the location was convenient. however, the noise from the elevator shafts next to my room was constant. It made relaxing difficult. also, my room wasn't cleaned during my entire stay. I had to request fresh towels and even then they didn't arrive until i called again. i think a discount would have been more appropriate than a free item from the cafe
