Sofitel So Auckland (to open 2015)
Over on NZHerald:
Work on the world's fourth luxurious five star-plus Sofitel So by the world's largest hotel operator is well under way in Auckland.
Only two Sofitel So hotels are open so far, in Mauritius and Bangkok but a third, designed by Karl Lagerfeld, is opening at the end of this month in Singapore.
Sofitel So opens in Auckland next year in the ex-Reserve Bank building on Customs St East. That block is now covered in scaffolding, as work progresses converting the empty office block into an exclusive five-star 133-room hotel.
