InterContinental

Integrating a 5-star InterContinental Hotel into the Deloitte Centre at One Queen Street Auckland was both a strategic and challenging move. Due to hotels being new ground for them, the client sought RCP’s advice, and the team were crucial in the early planning discussions.  

These discussions proved essential as, when COVID-19 hit and the tourism and hotel industry faced significant uncertainty, the team had to rethink the project’s scope, reducing the number of hotel floors in favour of more office space. Ultimately, the decision was made to scale back the project to include 139 hotel rooms - down from the initial 244 - leaving room for flexibility to expand in the future. This cautious approach balanced risk while preserving the potential for future growth in the hospitality sector. 

The hotel features various room types, from standard King and Twin Queen rooms to larger suites located at the building's corners. The top floor houses premier suites, including the Presidential Suite with a fully-fitted kitchen. It also offers a gym and a Club Lounge, providing InterContinental’s hallmark exclusive services for club members.  In addition, the hotel also features the Advieh restaurant which is accessible to both hotel guests and the public.
