QT Auckland has revealed a first glimpse at the signature brand of quirky luxury coming to the New Zealand waterfront in November. Auckland’s hottest new hotel is accepting bookings from today, and you may want to make one sooner rather than later, because after seeing their lush new rooms, we’ll definitely fight you for the reservations.

When it opens, the hotel will be home to 150 rooms and suites, stunning waterfront views and a host of new dining options including an as-yet unnamed a signature dining concept in collaboration with international chef Sean Connolly and a rooftop bar with sweeping harbour views.

Long-time QT collaborator Nic Graham worked in conjunction with the hotel’s design team to craft a unique blend of contemporary design and timeless flair. Drawing inspiration from Auckland’s iconic oyster trawlers and the natural hues of the New Zealand coastline, Graham has developed a clean yet luxurious aesthetic, combining raw textures and bold colour blocking. The interiors feature a heady blend of exposed concrete, brass accents, plush sofas and rugs, and the hotel chain’s signature sassy furniture.

QT Auckland is now accepting bookings for November 1 onwards. For more information, visit www.qthotels.com/auckland
