Location
Nestled merely an 8-minute stroll from Windsor Reserve, the 4-star The Esplanade Hotel Auckland welcomes guests with a sunbathing terrace and a golf course. This Auckland hotel lies in North Shore, known for its relaxed yet active lifestyle, complete with picturesque white sandy beaches, lively café scene, high-end boutique shopping, and beautiful parks and reserves, 3.5 km from such cultural sights as The Mission Bay Fountain.
The hotel is nearly a 10-minute drive from Auckland War Memorial Museum and nearly a 15-minute drive from Bastion Point. Takarunga is located only 1 km away and Viaduct Harbour is 3.6 km from The Esplanade Auckland. Guests will also appreciate the vicinity to Devonport Community Garden, located approximately a 5-minute ride away. The nearby entertainment attractions of Auckland include the vibrant SKYCITY Auckland Casino, which is 3.7 km away. Well-connected to many sights, The Esplanade Hotel is just steps from Devonport Ferry Terminal bus stop.
Some of the 15 air-conditioned rooms are equipped with individual climate control and an iron, as well as entertainment amenities such as a flat-screen TV. Also, they feature marble flooring. Certain rooms look out onto the mountain.
The neighbourhood features restaurants, including Devon On The Wharf, which is a few steps from The Esplanade.
Review by hotel critic
I recently spent a night at the Esplanade, and it was certainly an experience worth sharing. The hotel beautifully combines old-world charm with a well-maintained, spacious room that feels cozy and inviting. The huge window overlooking the picturesque harbor added a lovely touch. One perk is the free Wi-Fi, perfect for a freelancer like me. Despite appearances, the room was warm and peaceful-ideal for some yoga sessions in the morning. I appreciated the large, comfortable bed and the excellent shower pressure in the well-updated bathroom. The location is excellent, with easy ferry access for family reunions, and I enjoyed dinner at Devon On the Wharf nearby. For the price, you get great value, especially for those looking for a charming getaway without breaking the bank. Just keep in mind it's a historic building, so some TLC is evident.
