InterContinental Auckland sits within the Commercial Bay precinct, overlooking Waitemata Harbour and placing the city's waterfront, dining and shopping close at hand. The building takes a contemporary, quietly residential approach, with floor to ceiling windows, local artwork and rooms arranged around harbour or city views depending on their position within the tower. Advieh Restaurant and Bar gives the hotel a distinct culinary identity, while Club InterContinental adds a more considered, separated atmosphere on its own floor. Harbour views extend from much of the lobby and restaurant seating, keeping Waitemata Harbour visible throughout the day.
