The Surrey Hotel  

Tucked in Grey Lynn, Auckland — a stone’s throw from Eden Park and Auckland Zoo. Around 3 km from the city centre and roughly 2.3 miles from the Sky Tower, with Ponsonby Road, Karangahape Road and Victoria Park all close by. Auckland Intl. Airport is about 25.4 km away.

An Edwardian hotel with a quirky English theme — think antiques, memorabilia and informal Kiwi hospitality. The Surrey comprises hotel and motel options with 83 air-conditioned rooms featuring flat-screen TVs, private showers, desks and handy in-room conveniences. A terrace and garden add a quieter vibe away from the city buzz.

Take a dip in the indoor pool, unwind in the spa or hit the gym; a reception hall and concierge services are on site. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected and limited onsite parking is available.

A business centre, 24-hour front desk and luggage storage make work trips easy. Host events in 3,229 sq ft (300 m²) of conference and meeting space, with complimentary wireless internet throughout.

The Surrey Pub serves meals and drinks with classic Kiwi pub vibes, plus a snack bar/deli and bar/lounge. Full breakfasts are available daily from 7:00–10:30 AM for a fee.
