Fable Auckland

Stepping into Fable Auckland feels like a time warp – in the best way possible. This isn't just any hotel; it's a slice of the 1920s and one of Auckland's most best hotels. Let's peel back the layers of this art deco gem, shall we?

The Roots and the Roar

Built in 1928, Fable Auckland has the honour of being Auckland’s original skyscraper. It's a building that not only touched the sky but also the future of architecture in the city. Fast forward to now, after a glamorous facelift, the hotel rocks the same roaring twenties vibe but with all the modern trimmings. Walking in, you're greeted by marble floors, velvet furnishings, and golden chandeliers – it's like stepping into a jazz-age jewellery box that refuses to be anything but fabulous.

Rooms That Dazzle

Every room in Fable Auckland is a nod to Wallis Simpson's legendary jewellery collection. Think gem-coloured velvets, gold-toned lighting, and bathrooms that sparkle with pearlescent tiles. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s a place to revel in luxury, to loaf around like the 20s never ended.

Facilities That Impress

Fable Auckland might be all about the 1920s style, but its facilities are firmly in the 21st century. There’s a compact gym for a quick workout, free WiFi to keep you connected, and all the rooms come decked out with the tech goodies you need – flatscreen TVs, Bose Bluetooth speakers, Nespresso machines, and more.

Dining and Drinking in Style

The hotel’s restaurant, Cooke’s, pays homage to its original 1928 counterpart. The decor captures the era’s decadence – polished parquet floors, marble-topped tables, and velvet chairs, all under the watchful eyes of gilt-framed mirrors. The menu? It’s a modern take on the classics, with a focus on organic wholefoods and plenty of vegetarian options. And the bar, with its marble and gold-toned glamour, is the perfect spot for a cocktail that Gatsby himself wouldn't have been able to resist.

The Location

Right on Queen Street, Fable Auckland puts you smack in the middle of everything. Auckland’s top fashion boutiques, modern art galleries, and the waterfront are just a stroll away. And if you're looking to explore further, public transport has got you covered.

Fable Auckland is a throwback to a time when style was everything, mixed with the modern luxuries we can’t live without. Whether you’re a history buff, a lover of luxury, or just in town for a good time, Fable Auckland has something for everyone. So, pack your bags (and maybe a flapper dress), and step into a piece of Auckland's history that’s alive, well, and absolutely kicking.
