Fodor's Expert Review Hilton Auckland

Perched on the end of Princes Wharf, the Hilton resembles the cruise ships that dock alongside it, with white walls and neutral furnishings in chic, clean-lined rooms that allow your eyes to drift to the views, which are best in the bow and starboard. The hotel's restaurant, Fish ($$$$), is good, the cocktail bar Bellini has been given a make over and the Viaduct Basin with its raft of restaurants is within a five-minute walk.
