Fodor's Review:

Music lovers will have extra reason to admire Auckland's most luxurious and interesting boutique hotel. It's run by Frances Wilson, a former voice coach who taught at New York's Metropolitan Opera. Her husband, Stephen Fitzgerald, was a theater set designer and also renovated grand New York apartments before transforming this two-story 1870 villa. Each individually decorated suite has a mix of antiques and stylish modern furnishings, and may be graced with a harp or a grand piano. After dinner, arranged on request, Frances goes to the Steinway grand piano in the drawing room and a butler reveals himself to be one of her pupils by joining her for a recital.

Worth the Stay

Posted by lkbulldurham from Montecito, California on 2/1/07
There are just a few quirks, like compact closet space and poor lighting for cosmetics, etc. in the bathroom. Staff is very attentive. Don't have dinner at the hotel if you don't appreciate opera music. Food & service is outstanding.

Room: 5.0 Atmosphere: 5.0 Service: 5.0 Value: 5.0 RATING: 5.0
