Guestrooms. The 410 guestrooms tell a warm color story, using teal, gold and chocolate hues. All guestrooms include 42 inch plasma televisions, New hush glass windows mitigates street level noise. For those needing to connect to the outside world, high speed broadband Internet access awaits in each room.
Expert Tip. This property has recently completed a US$12 million refurbishment. The Auckland based Raj Design group conceived an integrated design concept that counters a strong prevailing minimalist dùcor trend in luxury hotels. Raj's vision favors unabashed opulence, rich textures and warm colors. Specific examples of the hotel's mannered "maximalism" include the winery's coffered ceiling and chandeliers. Guestrooms include dramatic burr walnut bed headboards, floor to ceiling drapes, antique styled furniture and lights, rich bedding and scented pillows in Egyptian linens. The hotel was established in 1865 and the Raj Design group trawled the history books in order to interpret late Nineteenth Century decorative styles with modern materials.
