The Horizon hotel was lovely and new, with very comfortable rooms with all the amenities. I had a lovely stay. I did have to queue for both check in and check out, so would have been good to have more staff on, but otherwise can’t complain. Thank you :)

Great property within walking distance of many attractions, shopping and dining options. Most bus tours which originate from Sky City is directly across the street from the hotel, as is the Sky Tower, casino, the Civic Theatre, et al. The property is high end and the staff is kind, well trained, and very accommodating. The hotel's restaurant is very good. We had breakfast and dinnwr there. The city's Viaduct Harbor with all of its dining and shopping options are also in walking distance. Additionally, the is a hop on/off stop is in the next block, approximately 100 yards/meters from the hotel. We will go back, and highly recommend it for holiday, business travel, or weekend getaway.
