Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Stayed here for a weekend staycation, our room was in the pinnacle tower and was very clean and spacious. Staff were very helpful, attentive and kind. If staying here I would recommend staying in a pinnacle tower room as the normal tower looked to be busy at all times of the day.

To the airport, shuttle fantastic. Return to nz it was awful -we waited for over 40 mins,it was dark+ getting v cold. We ended up getting a taxi to JPark. Hoping that won’t be the case next week. We stay at Jet Park always when travelling👍👍
