PB hotel design editorial

Earning New Zealand's first five-star Green Star rating for a hotel, the building that houses Hotel Britomart was a deliberate act of urban repair — a new-build structure designed by Cheshire Architects to stitch together a cluster of heritage warehouses in Auckland's regenerated Britomart precinct, the former central railway station quarter that edges the Waitematā Harbour. Opened in 2020, the ten-storey, 99-room property weaves pale handmade brick and steel-framed glazing across its new volume, a material language chosen to converse with the golden brick of the nineteenth-century commercial buildings it adjoins. The courtyard sequence visible in the images — cobbled paving, oversized ceramic planters, exposed warehouse walls softened by fig trees and climbing greenery — gives the hotel a rare porousness, drawing the neighbourhood through rather than holding it at arm's length. Inside, Cheshire Architects carried the same discipline through to the guest rooms: wire-brushed oak floors, warm grey linen upholstery, and deeply considered joinery in charcoal-stained timber slats anchor suites that face either the working port — container ships and harbour cranes framed like slow-moving paintings — or the leafy courtyard below. The rooftop restaurant, Tātou, wraps its dining room in floor-to-ceiling glass to hold the harbour panorama at every table, the dark steel structure overhead pressing the view into sharp relief. Throughout, the palette shifts between the warehouse district's industrial grain and a quieter residential warmth that keeps the hotel feeling more like a considered urban dwelling than a conventional hospitality property.

"Britomart is a seriously good hotel and our overwhelming thought was that the next time we come to Auckland, we would expect to pay a lot more for a room there, it was that high quality an experience. In bigger cities, you would anticipate a premium to stay at a venue like this. so my wisest advice is to book it whilst it's reasonably priced! Others have mentioned the location and being wedged in between the Viaduct and Queen Street is a massive plus. The check in was very smooth and culminated in our being escorted to our room and having various features explained in a clear fashion. It is obvious that considerable thought went into room design, starting with the provision of little nooks on both sides of the bed, with power slots and overhead lighting. The shower was fantastic, a great stream of hot water from either an overhead shower or more conventional pole set up, along with good quality shampoos, shower gels etc. The hotel offers a pretty cool gym and has a quite old school style "Library" wine/cocktail bar which would be a superb place to have a drink or two. There are three restaurants at the bottom of the hotel and we tried out Ghost Street, which was seriously good. In addition, we went to White & Wongs (last night as it happens!) which we knew favourably from Queenstown and also ate at The Brit, which whilst more casual, was pretty good and well priced. I could tell you the things we didn't do, but we did discover The Daily Bread, which is a two minute walk from the hotel. It's a really cool space and does a variety of breakfast/lunch type things. We can vouch for the service, which was impressive, given the number of patrons it attracts and thought the sour dough toast was excellent. We enjoyed the coffee as well as the provision of sparkling and still water on tap and I can also report that the chorizo sausage roll was yummy! Most tour guides might neglect to mention visiting Ponsonby, we walked there from the hotel (be warned there are steep hills involved) found an impressive high street, with lots to offer and worth a visit. We caught the bus back and like most of our NZ bus experiences, found it quite straightforward and easy. We do hope to get to Auckland again, but having said that, it was fifteen years since we had last been there, but if we do get our act together faster, the Britomart will be the obvious choice."
