Location, ambiance and a plant-focused restaurant sets Sudima Hotels’ new 4.5-star hotel, Sudima Auckland City, apart.
Situated opposite the New Zealand International Convention Centre, the 194-room single-use-plastic-free hotel is Sudima Hotels’ seventh investment in New Zealand hotels and infrastructure and advances the group’s focus on sustainable and socially responsible best practice.
Sudima Auckland City represents a $65 million investment in the local economy. The Kiwi hotel group has two other hotels in development, a $35 million property in Kaikōura and a $35 million hotel in Queenstown.
Auckland-based founder and CEO of Sudima Hotels, Sudesh Jhunjhnuwala, says the development is a significant addition to Sudima Hotels’ portfolio and an example of its continued investment in New Zealand despite the current impact on tourism.
“Our commitment to the hotel and tourism industry is unchanged, and we are pleased to have opened the doors at Sudima Auckland City and having Kaikōura and Queenstown openings on the horizon’.
“We hope that both New Zealanders and international travellers, as they start to return, enjoy our properties and hospitality for their travels, whether for business or leisure. Sudima Auckland City is easy walking distance to central Auckland’s bustling shopping, arts, dining and entertainment precincts, which makes it a great location for visitors to the city.”
Equipped with the high-quality service and amenities Sudima Hotels is renowned for, Sudima Auckland City has an innovative new addition to further enhance guests’ stays: the u-room.
Designed around the principles of self-care, the u-room promote guests’ wellbeing while travelling with little touches that make a big difference. Furnished with everything guests expect from a modern hotel, the u-rooms also features timber floors, natural muted colours; a bed that’s centred in the room, facing the window to maximise the view; a selfcare pack with a selection of healthy snacks and little pamper luxuries; and a yoga kit including instructional videos available on the in-room TV.
The hotel offers a unique lunch and dinner dining experience with its modern Asian plant-focused eatery East, which is already establishing itself as a hotspot in the Auckland food scene. East offers sustainable, health-conscious eating without sacrificing taste. Delicious modern Asian flavours, plant-focused dining. The team of chefs, representing culinary talent from Japan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, India and Sri Lanka, take inspiration from the near and far East to present an innovative and flavourful vegetarian menu of bites, small plates and larger dishes all designed to share. The drinks menu features all organic and vegan friendly wines, bespoke cocktails and sustainable New Zealand craft beer.
