Auckland's SkyCity Hotel to Complete Refurbishment in October
Published on: May 27, 2010

SkyCity Hotel in Auckland will complete a NZ $12 million refurbishment in October. The project will encompass the addition of new galleries, artwork and corridors to compliment the 242 improved rooms. Components of this investment include an additional 18 view finders called SkyScopes to SkyDeck, the Sky Tower’s highest observation level. The devices are positioned around the deck focused on key Auckland landmarks such as Albert Park, Victoria Park Markets and North Head, with accompanying information. Also, the hotel recently welcomed the new X.O. bar, located in a glass ring around the Sky Tower accessible from level 2 of the main SkyCity site; as well as twentyone, SkyCity Casino’s nightclub and bar featuring Learn to Play gaming tables at blackjack, roulette and baccarat; and Rebo, the hotel’s flagship eatery, which underwent massive renovations including extended al fresco dining and a new Mediterranean-inspired menu.
Also launched in late November was Orbit High Tea, which is served every Saturday and Sunday in SkyCity’s premium Orbit Restaurant at the top of the Sky Tower. The hotel will also soon welcome a new a la carte Cantonese restaurant, Jade Dragon. Additionally, the hotel has announced a number of new appointments including Callum Mallett, executive manager, SkyCity Hotels; Danielle Genty-Nott, director of sales, SkyCity Hotels; Caureen McAtee, acting operations manager for the SkyCity Grand Hotel; and Admire Mullaaliu, acting operations manager for the SkyCity Hotel.
