This September, Park Hyatt Auckland proudly celebrates its 5th anniversary, marking a remarkable journey that began during one of the most challenging periods.
Since opening its doors in 2020 at the height of the global pandemic, the hotel has grown to become one of New Zealand’s most celebrated luxury destinations, recognised as the Best Hotel in New Zealand by DestinAsian, named among the Top 50 Hotels in the World by Condé Nast Traveler and awarded Travel + Leisure’s title of Best City Hotel in New Zealand.
What started as a bold decision to open in uncertain times has evolved into five years of award-winning experiences, heartfelt hospitality and strong connections with the local community.
From getaways, weddings, corporate events and milestone celebrations, Park Hyatt Auckland has redefined luxury in Aotearoa. To commemorate the milestone, the hotel is inviting guests to join a celebration this September, featuring exclusive events and curated experiences across its venues, all overseen by Executive Chef Brent Martin, who leads the culinary vision across every outlet.
For anniversary highlights and celebration High Tea in the Living Room, Executive Pastry Chef Callum Liddicoat has reimagined the very first afternoon tea the hotel launched with, creating a new menu exclusively for the month of September.
As a nod to its beginnings, this refreshed experience features elegant sweet and savoury creations with a contemporary twist. On September 21, The Living Room will host a one-day-only Louis Roederer Champagne High Tea event, complete with live music - the perfect way to spend a Sunday on the waterfront.
