[4K] Hotel tour | 🇳🇿 AUCKLAND, SO/ Hotel

SO/ Auckland is a bold, design-forward luxury hotel that redefines the city’s hospitality scene. Located at 67 Customs Street East in the heart of Auckland’s CBD, this five-star property occupies the former Reserve Bank of New Zealand building, once home to the country’s gold reserves. Since opening in November 2018, it has become a standout destination for travelers seeking a stylish and immersive stay.​ The hotel’s aesthetic is a collaboration between Dutch design house Moooi and New Zealand fashion label WORLD, resulting in interiors that blend volcanic motifs, gold accents, and avant-garde furnishings. Each of the 130 rooms and suites offers sweeping views of the city or Waitematā Harbour, with guests choosing from themes inspired by the elements—Solid, Liquid, or Vapour. Signature features include statement bathtubs, bespoke artwork, and high-end amenities.​ Dining at SO/ Auckland is an experience in itself. Harbour Society, located on the 15th floor, serves seasonal, grill-centric dishes under the guidance of award-winning French chef Marc de Passorio. For cocktails with a view, HI-SO rooftop bar offers panoramic vistas and a vibrant atmosphere. Guests can also unwind at MIXO, the chic lobby bar, or enjoy artisanal coffee and house-made pastries at Javalab café.​ Wellness is a cornerstone of the SO/ experience. SO/ SPA provides a tranquil retreat with treatments like Vino Therapy and Himalayan salt stone massages, using products from WATERLILY and [Comfort Zone]. The hotel also features a heated indoor pool, a fully equipped fitness center, and a sauna for relaxation.​ For events and meetings, SO/ Auckland offers unique spaces, including The Vault—a nod to the building’s history—which accommodates up to 200 guests. These venues are designed to inspire creativity and leave a lasting impression.​ SO/ Auckland's commitment to excellence has been recognized with numerous accolades. In 2019, it received four Haute Grandeur Awards, including Best New Hotel in Oceania and Best Design Hotel in New Zealand. More recently, in December 2024, the hotel earned a Five-Star Qualmark Gold Status for its exceptional service and sustainability efforts, such as eliminating single-use plastics and reducing food waste.​ With its fusion of fashion, art, and luxury, SO/ Auckland offers an unparalleled urban escape that captures the essence of modern New Zealand.​ Enjoy the tour ▶️ Please subscribe and click on 🔔, 👍 and share. 🔗 Happy to Connect: ▪️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GuidebookWalker ▪️ Instagram: https://instagram.com/GuidebookTraveller ▪️ pinterest.com/guidebooktraveller ▪️ facebook.com/profile.php?id=100081153312365 For business inquiries: Guidebooktraveller@gmail.com #so/hotel #auckland #newzealand
