Cocktails on a summer evening, a cooling breeze, views of the harbour or city skyline as the sun sets. How can you not love a rooftop bar. With no further adieu, these are the best Auckland Hotel Rooftop Bars for you to enjoy.
QT Rooftop is the the hottest new rooftop bar in Auckland this summer, with fantastic views of the Viaduct Harbour. Serving light meals and bar snacks along with beer, bubbles and of course cocktails, this is the perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon, or start your evening out. Whether you’re a guest at QT Hotel or just hitting the rooftop for a drink QT Rooftop Bar has to be on your list this summer.
HI-SO in SO/ Auckland is a sensational rooftop bar. It has magnificent views of the Auckland waterfront, amazing decor, and incredible cocktails. Pre Covid this was one of Auckland’s coolest spots and as soon as SO/ is open to the public it will no doubt regain its place as one of Auckland’s finest rooftop hotel cocktail bars.
This is my personal favorite of all the rooftop bars in Auckland. Maybe it’s because I like Gin, maybe it’s because it’s 20 floors up and the views are incredible. Whatever the reason it’s always got a crowd so I can’t be the only one who loves it. They do an incredible selection of Gin based cocktails that look amazing so perfect if you’re all about the gram.
Bar Albert is located on the 38th floor of Voco Hotel so the views are stunning. As of 2022 this is one of Auckland’s hottest spots and they don’t take bookings so be prepared to wait in the lobby until there’s table free.
Sudima Auckland City just opened in December 2020. The rooftop bar is opening early 2021. Because the hotel is taller than anything between it and the waterfront so the views from the rooftop should be spectacular.
Not really a rooftop bar and only open to hotel Guests but Cordis Auckland has an awesome rooftop pool and as you’d expect in a 5 star hotel they have poolside service so you can get a cocktail on the roof in your togs.
Rydges Auckland also has an amazing rooftop space that is not open to the public but is available for weddings and events.
Park Hyatt has a rooftop bar called Waka currently under construction. This is expected to open mid 2021 and if it’s built to the same standards as the rest of the hotel will be truly incredible.
