Fodor's Expert Review The Grand by SkyCity

A bonus of staying at this central city hotel is the specially commissioned artwork by top New Zealand artists hanging in the soaring lobby. There is great attention to design throughout—even the staff uniforms are designed by local fashion mavens. Beautifully furnished rooms are decked in light contemporary hues. Some 53 floors up is the Sugar Club, which adds stunning views to its innovative menu. You'll also find some fantastic eateries just outside the front door.
