DK Eyewitness "Conveniently located in the heart of the business district above the Elliott shopping complex and just a short walk from the Edge Entertainment Centre, SKYCITY complex and Queen Street."
Star Service "Situated midway between the Aotea Performing Arts Centre and the ferry terminals...this downtown landmark resides in a striking 28-story tower balanced atop one of Auckland's shopping malls." Full review
Frommer's "The service is friendly and efficient. But there are some drawbacks... from the exorbitant charge for Wi-Fi to the fact that some rooms overlook a very noisy nightclub." Full review
Fodor's "The suites on the 28th floor have great views and bigger bathrooms for just a slightly higher price. The website often has quite good deals." Full review
Frommer's "Its location can't be beat; rooms are spacious and well-maintained, the beds boasting quality, pillow-top mattresses; and the service is friendly and efficient." Full review

DK Eyewitness "This is the largest hotel in Auckland and is set in a landmark building."
Rough Guide "Top-class hotel partly fashioned from the original Farmers department store."
Star Service "The warm and friendly staff provides top-notch service. This sleek operation is more affordable than the slightly overrated but more intimate Quay West. " Full review
Gayot "The Art Deco style of the once-famous Farmers department store has been preserved in this 467-room hotel overlooking Auckland's waterfront and business district."

"The upscale, 179-room Heritage Auckland offers the attractive combination of a Central Business District location and excellent amenities." Full review
Afar Magazine "The former Farmers department store in the heart of Auckland is the place to stay when visiting this city." Full review
Frommer's "Two separate hotel wings—one modern and one historic—give this lodging two of everything, so it’s unusually well set up with gyms, pools, and rooftop tennis courts that never get crowded" Full review
