NZAA/AKL - Auckland - Pullman Hotel - March 2025

Pullman Hotel AKL is located next to the bus stops outside the international terminal.

I had room 815, rooms x14 to x24 look towards the runway.  There's a little bit of remote parking visible but mainly requires aircraft to move to be visible.  There is a 9th floor above but I think that is executive/premium rooms. 

There are no views from within either the international or domestic terminals.  A walk to the far end of the domestic terminal will show some freighters, ANZ and Air Chathams turboprops. The biz and GA ramp is further away but walkable, or if you have a car there's also a viewing area that also requires most aircraft to move to see them.

There is a Novotel next door that is perpendicular to the runway but would allow movements to be seen, and will usually be cheaper than the Pullman.

NZAA/AKL - Auckland - Novotel - March 2025

Arrived on Tuesday afternoon and checked in at the Novotel Auckland Airport – a high room had been requested and I was given 916, which did the trick.  I reckon x06 to x23 on either the 8^th or 9^th floors should have decent views of the runways, but limited views of the terminal stands.  

Be aware that the sound proofing is too good – you don’t hear any noise so have to keep a constant view of the runways. No parking with the hotel and just an expensive restaurant. Szimpla café near the IBIS Budget is recommended.
