Swiss-Belsuites Victoria Park Opens in Auckland, New Zealand

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - Swiss-Belsuites Victoria Park opens in Auckland, New Zealand in October 2016. The upper upscale all-suite and apartment hotel, with full gourmet kitchen facilities, enjoys an excellent location in downtown Auckland and offers a clear choice for discerning business and leisure travellers looking for sophisticated accommodation in the city centre. The hotel is located minutes from the commercial business district and waterfront entertainment areas of New Zealand's largest city, Auckland.

Managed and leased on a long term basis by Hong Kong based and New Zealand owned Swiss-Belhotel International, one of the world's fastest growing medium sized hotel and hospitality management groups. Swiss-Belsuites Victoria Park Auckland is the second up market hotel that the company has acquired in New Zealand, the other being Swiss-Belresort Coronet Peak Queenstown.

"This continues our strategic move into Australia and New Zealand,” stated Chairman and President, Swiss-Belhotel International, New Zealander Gavin M. Faull. “Swiss-Belsuites Victoria Park perfectly compliments our other hotel operations in Queenstown, Sydney (The York by Swiss-Belhotel ) and the soon-to-open Swiss-Belhotel Brisbane.”

At a time when the tourism industry in New Zealand is showing unprecedented growth, Swiss-Belsuites Victoria Park is perfectly positioned to cater to ever-increasing demand from guests in the upscale business and leisure travel sector. Swiss-Belsuites Victoria Park offers far more than just upmarket accommodation, the hotel provides guests with a unique hospitality and lifestyle experience in the heart of the bustling city centre, surrounded by the green belt of Victoria Park. Close proximity to Auckland Waterfront, one of the most picturesque harbours in the world adds further appeal. The stunning harbour is well known for hosting many famous America's Cup sailing competitions.

The 40 unit Swiss-Belsuites Victoria Park is poised to become the premier all-suite hotel in Auckland. The property sits above the original Victoria Street car park and is adjacent to Victoria Park Market. The hotel offers a selection of one, two and three bedroom suites in a newly developed building by the very successful inner city property developers, Mansons TCLM Limited. The building is attractively sheathed in unique aluminium trellis.

Floor to ceiling windows create stunning vistas, drawing in an abundance of natural light, with the suites opening onto sun drenched spacious balconies which allow outdoor dining and dramatic entertainment areas. The intelligent designs surprise and delight guests throughout the interior spaces, elevating the 4.5 star property with a luxurious 5-star ambience.

The accommodation at Swiss-Belsuites Victoria Park features an array of sophisticated facilities and amenities. The spacious suites are all designed with fully-equipped kitchens, making them ideal as an urban retreat, and also perfect for entertaining friends or business associates in a contemporary urban setting.

Swiss-Belsuites Victoria Park is conveniently located at 206 Victoria Street West Auckland, close to the harbour and yachting facilities, and a short hop from the city's top dining spots and casino. Business guests can take advantage of the hotel's proximity to major corporate headquarters, and enjoy swift and easy access to Britomart, Viaduct Basin, Wynyard Quarter, Ponsonby and the vibrant Victoria Park Markets which boast some of Auckland's best cafes and restaurants.
