Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Cooked breakfast was not up to much, bread was dried out, sliced kiwi fruit had not been peeled. Pool and spa pool were undergoing maintenance, but transport and entry to Auckland tepid pools was offered. Sauna and steam room were average, but beauty treatment was amazing.

We had a beautiful dinner there. The service was top notch. We arrived late but they managed to fit us in. The room was very modern. I would definitely stay again.
