This was a weekend staycation while attending &Julliette. SO is a stylish, design-led five-star hotel that delivers strong visual impact and a premium urban experience—but with a few trade-offs around value and consistency. It is well positioned in the heart of Auckland CBD, near Britomart and the waterfront, within easy walking access to Commercial Bay, Viaduct Harbour ferry terminals and nightlife Our upgraded room was modern, bold, spacious with fashion-inspired interiors floor-to-ceiling windows and city/harbour views. It was open-plan, which tended to result in a waste of space and poor furniture placement. The bathroom featured the signature freestanding bathtubs, separate shower and toilet, but was poorly lit, especially for making up and shaving. Checking in took while as only one on receptionist on duty. The TV had a faulty connection and needs replacing. There was an annoying mechanical noise in the ceiling area, which may have come from the lifts.

Kia Ora, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your staycation with us. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed our central location, stylish design, and the comfort of your upgraded room, as well as the friendliness of our team. We truly appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the room layout and bathroom lighting, as well as the issues you experienced with check-in, the TV connection, and the noise disturbance. Please accept our sincere apologies for these inconveniences, as they are not reflective of the seamless experience we aim to provide. Your comments have been shared with the relevant teams so we can address these matters and improve consistency across our guest experience. We are glad you chose to stay with us while attending your show and appreciate your valuable insights as a Gold status guest. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more refined and comfortable stay next time. Sincerely, On Behalf of SO/ Auckland Team

Confusion regarding which beverages were included resulted in an additional charge for the red wine. Positioning the wine separately from the included water would help prevent this misunderstanding

The property is great - well located, the staff is super friendly and all the amenities are there. Yet somehow nothing stood out! Maybe this is the case for all hotels in Auckland (I cannot be sure as I stayed only here), but comparing to the hotels I stayed at in the South island (St Moritz Queenstown and Peppers Bluewater at Lake Tekapo) that went over and above and also provided some amazing welcome gifts for our honeymoon, SO/ was lacking in some aspect despite being a 5-star. That being said, the breakfast buffet is excellent - gluten free brownies are to die for. There were some flies on the desserts in the dessert section so would advise to avoid any other dessert apart from the brownies as they are placed in a different section. Also, the rooftop bar has mesmerising views of the Auckland Harbour and the good and drinks are great as well.

Kia Ora, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed our central location, friendly team, and amenities, as well as the rooftop bar views and your experience at breakfast! We also truly appreciate your constructive feedback. We are sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay didn’t stand out as expected, particularly in comparison to your South Island experiences. Your comments around creating more memorable touches are valuable, and we’ll certainly take them on board as we continue to enhance our guest experience. A special thank you for recognising Dhruv and Sudesh, we are delighted they could assist with dining recommendations and make your stay more enjoyable. As a valued Gold status guest, your feedback means a great deal to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide an even more memorable experience on your next visit. Sincerely, On Behalf of SO/ Auckland Team
