Fire evacuation during our stay. Afterwards, staff couldnt get elevators working so nobody could access their rooms. We were consequently late to our concert. Other than that, absolutely beautiful hotel.

A modern hotel with top quality staff and well appointed rooms. We arrived early and dropped our bags off with concierge so we could explore then did the pre-check in with reception. The team member offered to call us if the room was ready early. About 40 minutes later we received a call, the room was clean, very well laid out with quality fixtures and fittings. We were very impressed with the hotel and staff.

The Horizon was highly rated and we had a wonderful stay. The room and amenities are five star and it is very convenient to the quay, shopping at Commercial Bay, and we especially liked the staff. Breakfast at The Grill was great. Very convenient that the Hertz car rental is just across the street on Nelson and Victoria. Valets were very helpful in bringing the luggage in. There was a sky bridge to the Sky City casino. Would highly recommend this hotel

The Horizon was lovely. It was quiet and the service was excellent. The parking was a little tricky having to park across at Skycity, navigate a couple of lifts and walk through the Sky bridge to get back to the Horizon, but that become easy enough after a couple of days. The pillows were very big and uncomfortable and the polyester duvet inner felt quite cheap. But the beds were very comfortable! Overall would recommend.

Lovely hotel and amenities in the heart of the CBD (city center.) Lots to see and do. Great city! Great hotel. If you eat breakfast at the hotel, consider getting a package that includes breakfast. The buffet is lovely but pricey.

The room was incredibly nice and the staff was so helpful. We also had dinner at Cassia (a connected restaurant - you can walk to all three hotels through sky bridges) and it was delicious.
