There are so many hotels in Auckland, you really are spoilt for choice.
I'm not too sure why I love the Cordis so much! Perhaps because I used to stare at it out of the window of my uni back in the day (lol!) but there's just something about this hotel I love so much. It could be the complete over the top decor, the rooftop pool and spa, the fact I had my "baby moon" there, the new pinnacle tower with room views of Sky Tower and the harbour... for whatever reason it's one of my favs in Auckland.
