Top 7 Reasons to Choose Rose Park Hotel as Your Spark Arena Accommodation
Heading to Spark Arena for a concert, game, or show? Your choice of accommodation can make all the difference between a stressful night out and a fantastic Auckland experience.
At Rose Park Hotel, we've welcomed countless event-goers over the years, and we've learned exactly what makes a visit to Spark Arena seamless and enjoyable. Here are a few reasons why guests choose us when they need accommodation near Spark Arena.
1. We're Just a 15-Minute Walk from Spark Arena
Our boutique hotel in Parnell is perfectly positioned as one of the closest hotels to Spark Arena, just a comfortable 15-minute stroll from your room to the venue entrance.
Why does this make your night so much easier?
After an incredible concert or thrilling sports event, you can walk back to your comfortable room without battling post-event traffic or trying to find your Uber amongst the chaos.
Plus, being so close means you can pop back to your room before the event to freshen up, drop off shopping bags, or simply relax before heading out for the evening. This type of convenience ensures your night runs smoothly!
2. Complimentary Onsite Parking (Because We Don't Believe in Charging for It)
Parking in Auckland city can be tricky - most hotels charge over $30 per night for it, and parking near Spark Arena on event nights? Even more expensive and incredibly hard to find.
We do things differently.
At Rose Park Hotel, we're proud to offer safe, free onsite parking across our spacious 7,000 square metre property. Park once when you arrive, leave your car secure throughout your stay, and walk to your event stress-free. This frees up some money for you to spend on other things that matter more to you!
Bonus: There's plenty of free street parking outside our Auckland hotel too, so even on our busiest nights, you'll find a spot.
3. Newly Refurbished Rooms Where You'll Actually Sleep Well
All 111 of our guest rooms have been completely refurbished with new bathrooms and refreshed bedrooms. After an exciting night at Spark Arena, you deserve a place to rest well - and our plush beds will ensure that.
What you'll find in your Parnell Hotel room:
- Comfortable beds that guests consistently talk about
- Multiple mirrors, from full length to backlit, getting ready is made easy!
- Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi to share those concert photos immediately
- Large flatscreen Smart TV with Chromecast to wind down with your favourite shows
- Coffee and tea making facilities for that essential morning (or afternoon) caffeine hit
- Premium Six for Good toiletries - proudly New Zealand-made skincare that pampers you and supports the community
- Large windows with many rooms offering stunning views of the Parnell Rose Gardens or glimpses of Auckland CBD
We offer twelve different room types, from cosy standard rooms to spacious family accommodations and interconnecting rooms. Whether you're flying solo to see your favourite artist or bringing the whole family to a show, we've got a space perfect for you.
4. Onsite Dining That Makes Everything Easier
Timing is everything when you're heading to an event. Our Garden View Restaurant and Bar takes the stress out of pre-show dining, ensuring you remain perfectly on schedule.
Before your event
Enjoy relaxed dining while taking in sunny views over the Parnell Rose Gardens and Waitemata Harbour, either inside or out on our sun-soaked patios. Or, take advantage of room service and have a bite to eat while getting ready in your room!
No need to rush around Auckland trying to find a restaurant or worrying about making it to Spark Arena on time - just good food, relaxed atmosphere, and an easy walk to the venue.
5. A Peaceful Parnell Location
Rose Park Hotel sits on the edge of Parnell, one of Auckland's most prestigious suburbs - here, you'll enjoy close proximity to Spark Arena and the CBD without the constant noise and bustle of the city centre, ensuring you get the best of both worlds.
We're also conveniently located near many other top attractions in Auckland too:
Right beside the Parnell Rose Gardens: Pop over the road and explore the beautiful Dove-Myer Robinson Park with its renowned rose gardens - a peaceful retreat for morning walks or pre-event unwinding that many central Auckland hotels can't offer.
Explore the neighbourhood: Parnell Village is on your doorstep with charming boutique shops, excellent cafes, and diverse dining. Arrive early or stay an extra night to experience this special corner of Auckland.
