Designer lifestyle hotel, SO/ Auckland, has created the ultimate fashion experience for guests who want to indulge their love of shopping, spa, and gourmet culture on their next visit to New Zealand.

Situated in the heart of the city, the boutique SO/ Auckland hotel is only a short drive from some of Auckland's best shopping spots and just steps away from Britomart -  home to  some of New Zealand's most revered brands including Kiwi fashion innovator WORLD (who partnered with the hotel as its signature designer).

As part of the hotel's new SO Fashion package guests can take a ride in SO/ Auckland's Bentley or luxury corporate car to visit a choice of top shopping locations such as Ponsonby and Newmarket. Once back at the hotel guests can then pop upstairs for a cool cocktail at rooftop bar HI-SO overlooking the Waitemata Harbour before heading to Harbour Society for an indulgent three-course dinner.

SO Fashion also includes a one hour facial or massage treatment at SO/ SPA - a perfect way for fashion enthusiasts to rest and recharge after a day of retail therapy.
