Top hotels in Bayswater
Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
This is a super modern and high-end unit. While the room was great, we mostly enjoyed the free spa and heated pool. The breakfast buffet is one of the best we've ever had too! Highly recommended.

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland
Room was spacious, clean and well equipped. Reservation staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was perfect and in close proximity to sky tower and many other attractions. Public transport was right outside the door which made it very easy to navigate the town. Highly recommend this hotel ...
