The County Hotel

Heritage Napier Escape in New Zealand's Art Deco Capital

9.5
Exceptional
50 reviews
The County Hotel logo

Get your fix of Art Deco charm in Napier’s premier hotel. This idyllic refuge dating back to 1909, originally built for the Hawke’s Bay County Council, has now been faithfully refurbished to combine the appeal of its heritage architecture with the ease and convenience of modern luxury. The hotel boasts not one but two fine-dining restaurants – taste the South Pacific at the elegant Wine Street restaurant or try a huge selection of the best wines and champagnes from the region and the world at Churchill’s Champagne & Snug Bar.

If you can tear yourself away from the hotel, you’ll find yourself in the centre of Napier, considered the ‘Art Deco Capital of the South Pacific’. After taking in the town’s architecture, make the most of your superb location – explore the nearby beaches and wineries for which Hawke’s Bay is renowned, or admire the rugged landscapes of Cape Kidnappers.

Great service!
I have just returned from my first holiday where I was astounded by the value for money, so on my return I went straight back online to book my next break. Excellent service received from Joel S today when I needed to amend my second booking. Happy days!
