Abstract Hotel is for the travellers who wants more. More style. More character. More stories. Value with soul.
Think stylish base, a vibrant atmosphere, and the freedom to experience more of Auckland’s most electric neighbourhood.
Still riding the high from last weekend, because K’ Road really outdid itself! 🍄✨
Our magical memories are a mix of the whimsical colour overload of the Mushroom Festival Parade on the same day we got to take our first peek inside the new Karanga-a-Hape City Rail Link station. Easily one of the best weekends the neighbourhood has seen, we’re still buzzing!
Being an official Mushroom Festival partner was a total highlight, and we can’t wait for next year which promises to be even bigger and better.
Meanwhile, the countdown is on for the official opening of the City Rail Link on 13 September,, and we’re stoked our guests will soon be just a hop, step and jump away from this awesome new Auckland landmark. Yes, Abstract is sitting pretty as the closest hotel to the funky new station. The future of Auckland travel is right outside our doors!
Stay Abstract. Where creativity checks in.
The energy on K’ Road over the weekend? Unmatched 🍄⚡️
Between the vibrant magic of Auckland’s first-ever Mushroom Festival Parade and the public getting their very first look inside the City Rail Link’s Karanga-a-Hape Station, the street vibes were electric! A total double whammy of joy for the neighbourhood, and we were so proud to be an official partner for the Auckland Mushroom Festival.
Plus, we have a little flex... Abstract Hotel is the closest hotel to the new Karanga-a-Hape station! 🚉
The city is buzzing, the future of travel is right on our doorstep, and the good times are just getting started. Mark your calendars: the station officially opens on 13 September!
Things are getting a little wild (and very delicious) over at Abstract Hotel and Alla Prossima! 🍄✨
