The County Hotel

Experience Art Deco architecture and superb local wine with a charming escape to The County Hotel Napier in the stunning Hawke’s Bay region. Become immersed in New Zealand of the 1930s staying at this faithfully refurbished hotel, which was originally built in 1909 and remains one of only two significant buildings to have survived the massive earthquake that shook the city in 1931.

Experience the aristocratic lifestyle as you settle into one of just 18 boutique rooms, dine in the award-winning Wine Street Restaurant, cosy up with a book in the intimate library and toast your heritage escape with a nightcap in the boutique Churchill’s Champagne Bar. Once you step outside your hotel, find yourself in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Napier Art Deco historic precinct. Hear the whoosh of the ocean – you’re less than a five minutes’ walk to the tree-lined Marine Parade and beach – and discover over 70 exceptional wineries just a short drive away, including New Zealand’s oldest winery, Mission Estate Winery.
