Located in prime position at 67 Customs Street East, SO/ Auckland occupies the former Reserve Bank and home of the country's gold reserves. As the seventh addition to the SO collection of rebellious lifestyle hotels around the globe, and the first to open in the Pacific region.
Renowned Kiwi fashion innovator WORLD has provided flair throughout the hotel as the signature design partner for this very individual, designer lifestyle hotel. WORLD's influence includes the hotel's bold emblem design, which reflects the volcanic history of Auckland, the natural beauty of New Zealand and the history of the building itself.
Playing on the volcanic theme, guests can choose their room design style from Vapour, Liquid and Solid in all SO Cozy, SO Comfy, SO Club and SO Studio rooms. A floor has been dedicated to Penthouse Suites, each enjoying their own exclusive style; SO Lofty features a Caldera theme and SO VIP, an Exposure theme. Set to become one of the city's most Instagrammable hot spots and the place to be seen, SO/ Auckland is the city's hottest travel and lifestyle destination for locals and visitors alike.
Following in the line-up of celebrated fashion designers, WORLD joins an international stable that includes Mr. Kenzo Takada in Mauritius, Monsieur Christian Lacroix in Bangkok and Viktor&Rolf in Berlin. An obvious fit for the hotel due to their bold, energetic, playful style, WORLD's touch can be seen in everything from the staff 'attire', wallpaper, suite artwork, neon art installations and, most importantly, the hotel's unique emblem.
