Bold, design-led, unmistakably QT

Large-scale exterior planters and manicured hedging frame the building entry at QT Auckland, establishing a confident and considered first impression. The planting softens the urban environment while reinforcing the hotel's distinctive character, creating a welcoming threshold that draws guests in from the moment they arrive. From the footpath to the front door, the exterior greenery sets the tone for an experience that is lush, design-led and unmistakably QT

Drama inside, escape above

Inside, cascading aerial planting and living green walls transform the bar and dining spaces into immersive, nature-filled environments. Overhead greenery trails dramatically through the interior, softening dark architectural finishes and adding movement, depth and life to the moody hospitality setting. The contrast between the rich, dark interior palette and abundant living greenery makes for a visually striking environment.

On the rooftop terrace, abundant planting softens the built environment and creates a sense of escape high above the city. Integrated seating areas are framed by greenery, offering guests a relaxed and inviting outdoor destination removed from the pace of the street below. Together, interior and exterior planting establish QT Auckland as a hotel where nature is woven into every layer of the guest experience.
