When we started planning our first-ever trip to New Zealand, we were thrilled—but also a bit overwhelmed. With so many places to explore and so much natural beauty to take in, we weren’t quite sure where to begin. Thankfully, our decision to partner with and stay at the Hilton Auckland turned out to be the best starting point we could have imagined. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, inspired, and perfectly situated to explore all that Auckland—and beyond—has to offer.
