New Zealand’s Largest Hotel — and One of Its Most Trusted Event Addresses
Cordis Auckland has a track record that speaks for itself. Previously known as The Langham, it has long been the go-to hotel for celebrities, visiting dignitaries, and some of Auckland’s most prestigious events — from world-renowned keynote speakers to the Auckland Business Awards.
The recent addition of the Pinnacle Tower has elevated the property further — more rooms, more event spaces, and a contemporary design layer that sits alongside the hotel’s established reputation for seamless service. For planners running large, complex programmes where execution risk needs to be low, Cordis is one of Auckland’s most dependable choices.
Key Features & Event Spaces
The Great Room — Auckland’s Signature Ballroom: At 1,160sqm, The Great Room is one of the largest pillarless ballrooms in Auckland, styled with 33 showstopping crystal chandeliers and capable of hosting banquets for up to 800 guests. It can be transformed into four separate spaces ranging from 200 to 440sqm — giving planners the flexibility to run plenary and breakout formats from the same footprint, with direct drive-in access from the road for exhibitions and car launches.
Crystal Room — Elegant Breakout or Standalone Event Space: Conveniently located beside The Great Room, the Crystal Ballroom is perfect for gala dinners and social events and can be split into two breakout rooms. It accommodates up to 200 guests for dinner or 300 theatre-style, with its own private foyer for catering and registrations.
Vista Room — A View That Does the Work: With sweeping views from the Harbour Bridge to Mt Eden, the Vista Room on the 10th floor is a private space with its own dedicated arrival area, dividable into two smaller rooms for more intimate events or breakout sessions — with a connecting boardroom for smaller meetings. It’s one of Auckland’s better options for a high-impact executive dinner with a backdrop that genuinely impresses.
Gallery Rooms — Flexible Corporate Spaces: Four Gallery Rooms ideal for breakout sessions and corporate meetings, fully equipped with AV and high-speed Wi-Fi — a practical backbone for multi-stream conference programmes.
The Boardrooms — Executive Precision: Two purpose-built boardrooms with permanent settings for 8–12 guests, each featuring an inbuilt interactive touchscreen LCD — a strong option for leadership team sessions, investor briefings, and interviews running alongside a larger conference.
AV & Technology: A dedicated on-site audiovisual team and personal Events Executive are assigned to every event, supported by live conferencing facilities, advanced technology, and high-speed wireless internet across all 20 spaces.
Dining: Two restaurants, a rooftop pool bar, and a full-service banquet team sit within the property — with catering tailored across every event format from working lunches and morning teas to multi-course gala dinners.
Accommodation & Wellness: A fitness centre, day spa, and stunning heated rooftop pool and spa pool ensure that wellbeing stays high on the agenda for residential conferences and multi-day programmes. The Club Lounge — New Zealand’s largest hotel club lounge — provides a premium tier for VIP delegates and senior leadership groups
