Radisson RED Auckland: A Bold Entry into New Zealand’s Hotel Scene
Marking a significant milestone, the Radisson Hotel Group has officially entered the New Zealand market with the grand opening of Radisson RED Auckland. This landmark debut in Australasia is situated at 33 Lorne Street, right in the heart of Auckland’s vibrant Arts District. The hotel, boasting 322 rooms, also features the largest rooftop space in the country, with multiple event areas accommodating up to 219 guests.
The property is a testament to bold, theatrical design, drawing inspiration from Auckland’s rich creative culture. Corridor lighting mimics stage spotlights, while lounge seating takes cues from opera boxes. As one of the rare pet-friendly hotels in Auckland, it welcomes not just human guests, but also their four-legged companions, offering a unique, design-driven hospitality experience.
Tim Cordon, Chief Operating Officer for MEA & SEAP at Radisson Hotel Group, expressed that the opening represents a significant step in the brand’s growth in Australasia. The hotel’s soon-to-open Rooftop Restaurant & Bar promises to offer panoramic views of Auckland’s iconic Sky Tower, while providing an all-day dining venue that embodies the brand’s “Share & Connect” concept.
With its central location, guests are just minutes away from major attractions. These include:
- The Art Gallery
- Civic Theatre
- Sky Tower
- Auckland Museum
- Waiheke Island
- West Coast beaches
This positions the Radisson RED Auckland as a prime hub for both leisure and business travelers exploring New Zealand’s largest city.
