First time in Auckland and want to do touristy stuff. What would you guys do?
Its a no brainer the Langham is nicer then the Hilton or was when it was a Westin.Fantastic rate ^and the location is still very good
I walked everywhere from it.0 issue
I find the location for the Hilton worse as its all the way down on the other end of a dock albeit a nice one but you will also be
looking at cruise ships likely and they can be noisy as well as block some of the views on occasion
If you don't feel like walking from the money you save you can still taxi or unber around if they have uber and still come out way ahead staying at the Langham
The Hilton is a rip off typically though still to be fair a highly adequate choice but they always seem to overcharge no matter if its busy or slow and the breakfast and its service slipping
