Radisson RED Debuts in New Zealand with Auckland Opening

Radisson RED Auckland has opened in Auckland, marking the arrival of the Radisson RED brand in Australasia and Radisson Hotel Group’s entry into New Zealand.

Located at 33 Lorne Street in Auckland’s Arts District, the 322-room hotel brings a design-focused approach to the Central Business District. The property includes one of the city’s largest rooftop venues and is positioned within walking distance of cultural and entertainment landmarks.

The hotel is situated near key attractions including Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, The Civic, Sky Tower, Auckland War Memorial Museum, Waiheke Island, and the city’s west coast beaches. A range of cafés and restaurants are located nearby, making it suitable for both business and leisure travellers.

The interiors draw inspiration from Auckland’s arts and performance culture. Public areas feature gallery-style installations and lighting elements, while guest rooms incorporate layered textures, curated artwork, and adjustable lighting. Higher-floor rooms offer city views, and the Suite Panorama overlooks Auckland City, Albert Park and the harbour.

The hotel is pet-friendly and offers a fitness centre open daily from 5am to 11pm.

Dining and Rooftop Spaces

Radisson RED Auckland includes an all-day dining venue and bar. A Rooftop Restaurant & Bar is scheduled to open, offering open-air views of the Sky Tower and flexible event space. The rooftop can accommodate up to 219 guests in a cocktail-style setup and can be divided into four configurable rooms for meetings, celebrations, and private events.

The property’s event facilities are designed to support a range of social and corporate gatherings, with natural light and adaptable layouts suited to different formats.

“Radisson RED thrives in cities fueled by creativity, culture, and community, and Auckland captures that spirit perfectly. This opening marks a major milestone for our growth in Australasia and a proud moment for our upper-upscale Radisson RED brand, which brings a playful twist to the conventional. As Radisson Hotel Group’s debut in New Zealand and the first Radisson RED in the region, we can’t wait for everyone to see Auckland in RED and experience a hotel bursting with energy, design, and unforgettable moments,” says Tim Cordon, Chief Operating Officer, MEA & SEAP, Radisson Hotel Group.

“Opening Radisson RED Auckland marks an exciting new chapter for the city, one that celebrates creativity, connection, and a distinctive new way to experience hospitality. We’ve designed Radisson RED Auckland to be far more than a place to stay, it’s a creative hub where locals and travelers can plug into the heartbeat of the CBD and feel the city’s culture, color, and energy from the moment they arrive. Every space has been shaped to spark inspiration, encourage connection, and bring a sense of play back into travel. We’re proud to open our doors and introduce a fresh, dynamic experience to Auckland, one that reflects the spirit of the city and the attitude of RED,” concludes Reinout Engel, General Manager, Radisson RED Auckland.
