Hilton Hotel
Studio Design + Architecture instigated a new direction in contemporary boutique-style hotel design for Hilton International and were re-commissioned to assist with Hilton Auckland’s refurbishment programme.
The interior design of Hilton Auckland, a 167-room hotel stunningly located on Princes Wharf, features a continuous flow, creating an intimate and comfortable atmosphere.
Studio Design + Architecture’s original delivery involved the fitout of all guest rooms, public spaces, lobby and conference facilities. By bringing the view inside, the design responds to the hotel’s wharf-side location with further local references made through a showcase of work by contemporary New Zealand artists.
The initial engagement included the preplanning and articulation of room types and commissioning of mock-up rooms to clearly identify changes within the building footprint. Studio Design + Architecture’s collaborative relationship with the base building architect and various contractors during the planning, building and development phases supported effective project coordination and resolution of site issues.
Hilton Auckland’s new direction received extensive industry recognition. The design solution exceeded Hilton’s commercial objectives for the project, with function facilities surpassing budget expectations.
The recent programme that we were involved with by Hilton Auckland included the creation of a new Presidential Suite, and refurbishment of all guestrooms, Bowrooms and the Bellini Bar.
Studio Design + Architecture was also engaged to provide interior design services for Hilton’s Rarotonga Resort and Spa. This is the first international 5 star hotel in the Cook Islands and is the flagship for the Islands’ tourism industry. Located on a 20 hectare site on the island of Rarotonga, the 210-unit complex consists of 160 hotel suites and 50 apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms.
