When we opened our doors as New Zealand’s first Hotel Indigo, we hoped Auckland would embrace what we were bringing to the city. The response has been beyond anything we imagined.
Over 114 pieces of media coverage, 930.5 million total website visits, and more than 2.3 million online views later, we’re overwhelmed by how the story of Hotel Indigo Auckland has resonated. From design publications celebrating our heritage façade integration to travel writers exploring our neighbourhood-focused approach, the conversation has been as diverse as it’s been exciting.
More Than Numbers
These numbers tell a story, but it’s not just about the coverage. It’s about what drew people to write about us in the first place. Publications have been captivated by how we’ve thoughtfully woven global hospitality standards with authentic Auckland character. Design features have focused on our bold art and contemporary interiors that pulse with modern city life. Travel writers have explored how we encourage guests to discover the neighbourhood beyond our doors.
Whether it’s print features reaching over 8 million readers or social posts sparking conversations across platforms, the coverage reflects something we’ve always believed: Auckland was ready for a hotel that celebrates creativity, embraces exploration, and honors both heritage and innovation.
A Global Brand With Local Soul
Being New Zealand’s first Hotel Indigo comes with responsibility, to represent the brand authentically while staying true to what makes Auckland special. The media response suggests we’re getting that balance right. From our neighbourhood stories to our design details, everything has been thoughtfully considered to reflect the vibrant spirit of this city.
The coverage spans design, travel, hospitality, and lifestyle publications because Hotel Indigo Auckland doesn’t fit neatly into one category. We’re part of Auckland’s cultural fabric, and that’s exactly how we want it.
As we continue to build partnerships, create experiences, and encourage exploration, we’re excited to keep telling stories worth sharing.
