...Auckland, the city most believe should be the capital, is the biggest and most lively place in New Zealand. The most attractive aspect of Auckland in particular is that marries together the typical laid back New Zealand lifestyle, with the modern conviniences and services of any big city. Auckland city centre itself is new with a lot of attractive arcitechture, and similar to London, just without the sheer mass of people. You'll find whatever you want in the shopping centres of downtown Auckland, but then can drive for 30mins and be in the relatively tranquil countryside. If you're going to New Zealand, you must visit Auckland, and you'll be guranteed a great time....

Advantages: Easy to find!!! Disadvantages: Nothing that comes to mind
...We visited the Sky Tower to gain a different view of Auckland and were rewarded with an awesome view.We took lots of photos all the way round and planned where to go during our stay in the city. It was nice to see where we'd been over in Devon port earlier that day and the bridge looked great from up high . You can walk all the way round and even walk over glass panels in the flooring! ( not for the faint hearted) if you're even braver bungee jump off ! Go to the top level for the extra money well worth the ride. A must visit if you are in Auckland, but do go on a fine day!!!!...

...I grew up in a place called Invercargill, right down the bottom! It wasn't until I was slightly older that I shifted to live in Auckland.
I loved every minute of it! The climate in Auckland is great, it is knowledge that the further up New Zealand that you get is warmer. Auckland does a sub-tropical climate exactly the opposite to the United Kingdom. That's why you'll find tourists wearing shorts at Heathrow when it's -2, and everyone wearing layers of jumpers as they step off the plane at Auckland airport, (you sure can pick a tourist!)
Auckland's Queen Street is the best place for partying, Cactus Jacks is a little bit like Jumping Jaks here in Britain.
Then down by the wharf, you have an array of fine restaurants and pubs, you can also find the markets down there as well. (Chinese Market and the ordinary one...

The company I work for have a corporate account with the Hilton Hotel chain because we have a lot of people based off site and they often need a hotel near the office if people are visiting HQ (heaven forbid, there is nothing worse than going back to... more

For the second day of my short, last-minute trip to Dublin, I really needed to be in the centre of the city as I had a lot of stuff to do and so it made sense to complete my quest to stay in 3 Hilton hotels during December and January and... more
My partner and I decided to go for a city break to Amsterdam – somewhere we had fancied for a while and it provided me a chance to fly for the first time. After much shopping around, we booked (via Thompson online) for a 2 night stay at the 5 start... more
Home to the largest ballroom in Hertfordshire, the Hilton Watford hotel is 3 minutes' drive from the M1 and 25 minutes from central London.
Not quite what I was expecting from the Hilton Hotel chain as a whole.
I thought it would be more "posh"... more
A lot can happen in a space of a few years but never more so than in Dubai; it's currently a massive construction site but in the nicest sort of way! The last time I visited Dubai in 2002, I stayed at Oasis Beach Hotel in Jumeirah. At that time the... more
