Fodor's Expert Review Crowne Plaza

An escalator connects the atrium of this hotel to the Atrium on Elliot, an average shopping complex with a remarkably good food court that is a short walk from Queen Street via one of Auckland's new shared pedestrian and car spaces. Guest rooms begin on the 16th floor; all have city views, and there is even a menu for pillow choice. The suites on the 28th floor have great views and bigger bathrooms for just a slightly higher price. The website often has quite good deals.
