WT have been appointed as Project QS for the construction of New Zealand’s first Park Hyatt hotel, in Wynyard Quarter, Auckland.

The hotel will embrace New Zealand culture in its design on the notion of a Maori cloak around the building, a double skin offering warmth, privacy and beauty.

The seven storey hotel has a total floor area of 29,000 square meters, 195 rooms, food and beverage outlets, event spaces, a spa and a fitness centre that includes a 25m pool.

The new hotel will be located on the former Team New Zealand site and completion is scheduled for late 2018.
