Frommer's Exceptional

There is something intangibly serene about the Duxton. Maybe it's the leafy, tree-lined street it sits on, or the green park it overlooks. Either way, it's quieter and more intimate than some of the bigger hotels. Treat yourself to a special deluxe spa package that includes breakfast and a king-size Jacuzzi with shutters opening onto the main room. Apartments with full laundry facilities and kitchens are also a big plus. Just 8 years old, this little oasis of calm demands your attention. Facilities: Restaurant (The Grill [contemporary New Zealand]); bar; outdoor heated pool; guest access to small gym across road; Jacuzzi; concierge; tour bookings; car rentals; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; currency exchange; on-call doctor/dentist; airport transport; access for travelers w/disabilities.
