QT plows ahead with new luxury hotel in Auckland

QT Hotels & Resorts has announced that its new QT Auckland property will launch in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Construction of QT Auckland has resumed, with the former Viaduct Harbour office building being converted to a 150-room hotel. 

The transformation will result in a new hub of quirky luxury, with a signature dining concept by renowned chef Sean Connolly, a rooftop bar with sweeping water views and high-tech conferencing and event spaces.

“QT Auckland is on track to open its doors later this year, despite the unprecedented challenges presented by Covid-19," said Simon White, General Manager Operations New Zealand for Event Hotels & Resorts. 

"While we took a brief pause in construction, development is now well underway to bring QT’s bold and creatively-charged hospitality to Viaduct Harbour in 2020 as planned.” 

QT Auckland is being developed in partnership with Russell Property Group and Lockwood Property Group.

While the details of designer Nic Graham’s plans are still under wraps, QT Auckland promises an escape that reflects its harbourside locale. Its design and signature service will be intrinsically connected to the creative fabric of the local community, with partnerships with the arts, music and fashion industry. 

Located at 4 Viaduct Harbour Avenue, QT Auckland will be the 10th QT Hotel and the third in New Zealand, joining QT Wellington and QT Queenstown.

QT Parramatta, QT Newcastle and QT Adelaide are scheduled to open in 2021.
