Templeton Group Led by Nigel McKenna has raised the curtains on Abstract Auckland, after a blessing by Ngāti Whātua Ōrakei, adding a chic New York-style boutique hotel to the creativity and vibrancy of K’ Rd.

Templeton Group’s 11-storey, 290-bed hotel is design-led and amenity rich. It offers a new style of inner-city hotel accommodation, with compact rooms complemented by cleverly curated spaces and flexible living areas that make living, lounging and entertaining a pleasure. Elevated and accessible location

Abstract sits on the K ‘Rd ridge, by the intersection with Upper Queen Street. It’s conveniently close to major transport hubs and motorways, perfect for visitors seeking an essentially Auckland weekend or business travellers looking for a handy city bolt-hole with character and style.
