The hotel provides guests with a lounge bar and air-conditioned rooms with views of the mountain, while the public National Aquarium of NZ is approximately 400 metres away.
Location
This traditional hotel is about 5 km from Napier airport and 24 minutes on foot from such cultural venues as the Faraday Centre Hawke's Bay. Natural attractions in the area include the recessed coastal Sunken Gardens, within reach of the Nautilus, and a beach is 250 metres away.
Also, Clive Square is situated 0.9 km away. The massive Centennial Gardens Waterfall lies about 10 minutes away by car.

There are air-conditioned bedrooms and private bathrooms with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet provided.

Eat & Drink
A variety of European dishes are available at the à la carte restaurant, which has mountain views. The Nautilus Restaurant, located fairly close to this Napier hotel, serves international cuisine to satisfy every taste.
Leisure & Business
You will find a hot tub in the pool area. The property is also convenient for going hiking. Those on a business trip will benefit from a photocopy machine and a desk provided on site.
“The waterfront location and Art Deco design create a distinctive Napier experience. I think that the proximity to the National Aquarium and the option of rooms with spa baths and balconies adds to the appeal. The on-site restaurant, focusing on local cuisine, is another clear advantage.”
