Hilton Auckland Hotel Shuttles

A staple of Pier 4, the posh Hilton Auckland offers panoramic views of Auckland Harbour as well as luxury on-site amenities. Upscale rooms offer balconied glimpses of the water fully adorned with patio furniture and modern efficiencies, each offering creative light fixtures and same-room couches. Upgraded suites also add a bit more space through separate living areas and large spa-like bathrooms. For all guests, a heated outdoor lap pool brings elevated perspectives, while a swanky seafood restaurant offers just as beautiful glimpses from inside. Shuttles also offer quick rides to Auckland Airport, while the ferries from Queens Wharf provide a unique public transportation alternative. Get around with absolute freedom by breaking away from schedules and enjoying all the time in the world with private vehicle rentals such as sedans, vans and SUVs - and with meet-and-greet services that range from the simplicity of taxis to luxury limousines, professionals can easily arrive to Pier 1’s many conventions and concerts.

An easy way to have fun is with what surrounds the hotels, whether it’s through an array of waterside cafes and restaurants or a handful of exhibits showcasing local New Zealand history. Start the day at the adjacent New Zealand Maritime Museum, learning about the region’s history of sailing and fishing - compliment the nautical-themed afternoon with lunch from various staple eateries as well, especially popular options being The Crab Shack for its All-American menu and Wildfire for signature Brazilian. Also close to the hotel are a few retail shopping experiences throughout the Queens Wharf neighborhood, from Britomart’s bizarre atrium-centric design to the old school decadent of Queens Arcade on Customs Street. And by the end of the day, watch for sunset somewhere close to the shoreline, whether it be through the famous late-night eats of Jack Tar or windy vistas at the historic Big Wheel.
