Conran and Partners new development
Conran and Partners has been appointed to create the interior design of a spectacular new £102.5 million luxury hotel development on the Auckland waterfront in New Zealand, scheduled to open in 2018.
Multinational hotel group Hyatt has been named as the operator of the new hotel in the city’s regenerated Wynyard Quarter, which is being developed by Chinese property group Fuwah International.
The seven-level 25,000m², 190+ room hotel will have three restaurants, a spa and fitness centre and a 25m pool. The development also includes the creation of public space and art in the area around the new hotel, to give people access to the marina and water.
Conran and Partners joins Singapore-based architects AR+D and New Zealand practice Bossley Architects on the design team. The design team will bring its vision and global expertise in the hospitality sector to the landmark project to create a very special visitor experience.
Project director Tina Norden, comments: “We are delighted to be playing a part in delivering what will be a truly special hotel and a new and impressive landmark on the Auckland waterfront.
“The site of the hotel is fantastic – right on the edge of one of the world’s finest harbour settings – and our designs will reflect this.”
She adds: “Our aim is to give visitors to the hotel an enjoyable and a truly memorable experience with a unique sense of place.”
