Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour

Auckland is one of the world's great harbour cities, so it makes perfect sense to stay beside the water. In close proximity to the restaurants and bars of Viaduct Harbour and the Wynyard Quarter, the Sofitel has classy rooms and suites arrayed around a central ornamental pool. Moored yachts bob nearby, and Auckland's 'City of Sails' moniker definitely rings true.
