New Zealand’s first Grand Millennium hotel will open in Auckland on 7 September.
The Grand Millennium, on Mayoral Drive and currently operating as Rendezvous Grand Hotel, joins the already established Millennium, Copthorne and Kingsgate portfolio in New Zealand.
Alison Smith, director of conferences and incentives with Millennium Hotels and Resorts, says Rendezvous has done a great job at the hotel. ‘We are looking forward to working with the staff there. We are excited at the prospect of having such a great hotel with large conference facilities in our portfolio.’
The hotel, the largest in New Zealand with a total of 452 guestrooms, will join Grand Millennium Hotels in Beijing, Shanghai, Al Wahda, Amman, Dubai, Muscat, Sulaimani, Kuala Lumpur as well as the international network of Millennium and Copthorne properties in Asia, Middle East, Europe and the USA.
The hotel facilities include 1,619 square metres of conference space comprising an 830 square metre ballroom and various meeting venues. It has two restaurants, lounge bar, swimming pool, gym and covered car parks.
The centrally located Grand Millennium Auckland is close to Aotea Square, Auckland Town Hall and the city’s main arterial routes. The development in the immediate vicinity of the New Zealand International Convention Centre, City Rail Link and Aotea Square Station is expected to add significant value to the hotel in coming years.
