First look: Inside the new Radisson Red Auckland
Set in Auckland’s Art District, the 322-key pet-friendly hotel design is said to be inspired by the city’s creative culture and urban energy, and also boasts one of the country’s largest outdoor rooftop spaces.
“Radisson Red thrives in cities fueled by creativity, culture, and community, and Auckland captures that spirit perfectly,” said Radisson Hotel Group Chief Operating Officer, MEA and SEAP, Tim Cordon.
“This opening marks a major milestone for our growth in Australasia and a proud moment for our upper-upscale Radisson Red brand, which brings a playful twist to the conventional.
“As Radisson Hotel Group’s debut in New Zealand and the first Radisson Red in the region, we can’t wait for everyone to see Auckland in Red and experience a hotel bursting with energy, design, and unforgettable moments,” he said.
According to the group, the new hotel design blends “attitude with artistry”, with guest rooms echoing “an actor’s dressing room” by using layered textures, expressive colours, curated artwork and sensory lighting.
Featuring an all-day dining venue and bar, the soon-to-open rooftop restaurant and bar will become one of New Zealand’s largest outdoor rooftop spaces and is expected to quickly rise as a popular choice for meetings and events with capacity for up to 219 guests for a cocktail-style setup.
“Opening Radisson Red Auckland marks an exciting new chapter for the city, one that celebrates creativity, connection, and a bold new way to experience hospitality,” Radisson Red Auckland General Manager, Reinout Engel said.
