Rendezvous Auckland Rolls Out The Red Carpet

Rendezvous Hotel Auckland understands the needs of the MICE market, and has pulled out all the stops with a multi-million dollar refurbishment that is sure to wow delegates.

The hotel’s extreme MICE makeover is now complete, with a stunning new pre-function area and rejuvenated Grand Ballroom replete with designer furniture and lighting, the latest audio visual technology and fresh new carpet and wall panels. Delegates are also able to bypass the main hotel lobby by catching an exclusive elevator to the meetings and events area, adding an element of prestige and exclusivity.

With the ability to host up to 800 guests at any given time and a choice of 15 different meeting and event spaces, the new look Rendezvous Hotel Auckland is the ideal choice for any event, from product launches to conferences.

To assist meeting organisers budget accurately for events, Rendezvous Hotel Auckland has also introduced a fixed Australian dollar rate for its MICE accommodation and day delegate packages. Aptly titled the ‘No Surprises’ Package, this reflects a significant commitment to the hotel’s support and dedication to the Australian market.

The refurbishment comes after a $35 million extension to the hotel in 1998, which secured Rendezvous Hotel Auckland’s status as the largest hotel in New Zealand. Within walking distance to the city’s best restaurants and shopping, as well as the entertainment district of the America’s Cup Village, the hotel is also linked via an underground tunnel to Auckland Convention Centre at THE EDGE, comprising four of Auckland’s most significant venues – Aotea Centre, The Civic, Auckland Town Hall and Aotea Square.

To complete delegates’ experience, the hotel offers a gymnasium, heated indoor pool, separate male and female saunas, award-winning Katsura Japanese restaurant, 24 hour business centre and concierge, plus valet parking and Japanese rooftop garden. Select from one of 452 rooms, all with broadband wireless, including Plaza Club and executive suites.

Now is the perfect time to discover – or rediscover – Rendezvous Hotel Auckland, with complimentary cocktails during all site visits. Plus, book an event before 15 July 2008 and go into the draw to win a two hour cocktail function for 20 in the Royal Suite. Now that’s a red carpet experience!
