12 Hours in Auckland

Park Hyatt Auckland

For my Auckland overnight, I chose the Park Hyatt Auckland and its wonderful location on the water. It was also a great deal as I used one of my Amex Travel $200 FHR credits which brought the cost down to $73 after the $100 hotel credit.

 Between Amex FHR and my Globalist status, I was upgraded from a basic room to a lovely harbour front room.

Gorgeous views...

Dinner at The Grove Auckland

Wonderful 10 course tasting dinner at The Grove, one of Auckland’s best restaurants. Located in Saint Patricks Square next to the historic Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in the heart of Auckland city, The Grove serves modern New Zealand food with a French touch. Friendly, polished service from a wonderful staff. The wine pairing was a treat and not to be missed.

What a delighful 3 hour meal at The Grove.  Meanwhile back at the Park Hyatt, wonderful nighttime views.
