Rooftop at QT
Friday, 5pm. Kick off your Friday in style at the top of QT Auckland, one of the most popular rooftop bars in the city. Grab a cocktail and drink in dramatic views of the Viaduct Harbour – a quintessential trait of this super-central hotel.
The Viaduct
Friday, 6:30pm: Take a picturesque stroll from QT Auckland to the heart of the Viaduct, one of the best spots for dinner in the city. If there's one place to enjoy views of the harbour, it's here!
Hello Beasty
Friday, 7:30pm: Pssst... Here's a local secret – one can never go wrong with an Asian-fusion feast at Hello Beasty. Be sure to order its famous dishes including karaage chicken, Korean-fried cauliflower and the prawn & crab toast.
Mövenpick Auckland
Friday, 10pm: Stumble into bed at Mövenpick, a name of royalty when it comes to ice cream, chocolate and hospitality. Need a pick-me-up? Pop into your hotel for sweet perks like Chocolate Hour or in-room sundae service. Yum!
Amano
Saturday, 8am: Breakfast time! Grab a buttery pain au chocolat from the bakery or dine in for scrumptious frittatas and the best poached eggs of your life. This hip restaurant in the Britomart precinct is an underrated spot for brekkie – you won't be disappointed.
