Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Sadly the spa pool was cold and murky and the following morning it was unavailable. We pay big prices to have these amenities and they are unavailable, very disappointing

This property is simply next level in decor, comfort and staff. Breakfast was wonderful including freshly squeezed Kiwi juice (what a treat for my first visit to Auckland and New Zealand). Obviously a well managed property! Bravo!
