Auckland’s Hotel Britomart has been named the best in New Zealand in the annual Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice awards.
The country’s first 5 Green Star Hotel has been praised for its distinctive architecture and attention to detail.
Hotel Britomart General Manager Clinton Farley said the team is delighted with the recognition.
“The Hotel Britomart goes beyond the conventional concept of a hotel and embodies a vibrant community where guests can immerse themselves in next-level five-star sustainable experiences that are distinct to New Zealand,” said Farley.
“This accolade confirms that our efforts to create unique and exceptional experiences are being enthusiastically received, and further strengthens our commitment to delivering true New Zealand hospitality at its best.”
In second place is Nelson’s Tides Hotel, with Sojourn Apartment Hotel in Wellington third, The Nautilus in Napier fourth, and the Park Hyatt Auckland rounding out the top five.
In the world rankings, Indian palace-turned-luxurious hotel Rambagh in Jaipur was named the overall winner thanks to more than 5000 five-bubble reviews.
It finished above Ozen Reserve Bolifushi in the Maldives and Brazil’s Hotel Colline de France.
The awards are compiled from analysing 12 months of reviews of more than 1.5 million hotels.
Other Kiwi accomodation providers mentioned in the various categories include Arcadia Lodge in Russell and Allegra House in Paihia being named third and fourth in the top 10 B&Bs in the South Pacific; The St James in Queenstown coming sixth in the luxury hotels in the South Pacific, with Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel and Bay of Many Coves following in seventh and eighth; and Auckland’s Settlers Boutique Motel in fourth in the best small hotels in the South Pacific, with Hotel Fitzroy curated by Fable, also in the City of Sails, in sixth.
