When approaching Sky City Hotel it doesn`t look that big; as soon as one reaches its giant entrance-hall, rememberances of a mixture of Las Vegas Hotels, railway-stations and casinos come into the mind!
At Sky City everything is gigantic: above all the 328 m Sky Tower, the entrance hall of its 2 hotels taking several floors, the choice of 10 restaurants and bars and 2 casinos. The whole building hustling and bustling and everything crowded with guests, tourists, visitors, businesspeople and staff.
Sky City Hotel is the somewhat less luxurious compared to the 2nd, Sky City Grand. Amenities are plenty, rooms large (but partly needing some refurbishment dearly) and the other facilities excellent, as a heated rooftop pool, a Sauna and Gymnasium. Staff are helpful, but not as friendly as could be expected from a 4-star house. Restaurant and breakfasts are expensive (straight across the street are some very good coffee-shops !)
Unique Qualities: Centrally located at the rim of Aucklands business- and shopping-district, in about 15 minutes walking distance to the harbour. Access to the Sky Tower is prohibitively expensive,yet offers breath-taking views for more than 80 kilometres in every direction.So if one doesn`t mind to stay at a railway-station / Las Vegas - like hotel, its the right place !
