Located in Wynyard Quarter fronting on to the Viaduct Harbour in the heart of Auckland, this new Park Hyatt Hotel will offer an exciting range of public facilities and function spaces, including bars, cafes, restaurants, and reception halls. Taking up a 100m by 50m site, it is essentially a hollow rectangle, the 195 rooms facing out from the perimeters, with a dramatic central atrium, seven stories high and partially glazed. The external façade is cloaked in sliding or pivoting bronzed stainless steel mesh screens, which will provide a shimmering skin of reflections to animate the building with natural light.
