Auckland’s most unique boutique hotel, The Convent, has opened its historical doors and you won’t have to take a vow of poverty to stay there.
The infamous building, that sadly has no heritage listing protection, has been affectionately restored into The Convent Hotel and Ada Restaurant.
The architecture of the historic Spanish Mission style structure, originally built as a Convent in 1922, has been largely preserved and layered with playful design features that extend to the relaxed restaurant space, Ada.
The glass ceiling vaulted above the dining area, formerly familiar to the Nuns as the cloisters, bridges the past and present.
From the same creator as its sister eatery and retail concept, Ponsonby Central, the owner Andy Davies had a vision to create a one of kind stay in an urban location, without the luxe price tag.
Nestled in its own niche between a high-end hotel and an Airbnb experience, The Convent fills a gap for those travellers who want more from our city than the four white walls we are used to.
The Convent exists to be your home away from home with cosy rooms, community spaces to relax, an eco friendly servicing concept and staff with the knowledge so you can live like a local in our city. The same ideals are shared by Ada Restaurant where the beautiful space is open for everyone to enjoy.
Not only for guests of the hotel, Ada is a destination to experience a seasonal menu of Italian influence. The restaurant, arguably the most visually striking part of The Convent, has Hayden Phiskie (ex Cotto) and Johnny Price (Rita, Wellington) at the helm, carrying forward the approachable nature of sharing great pasta and wine.
Just as each room in The Convent is different, Ada moves with the seasons for a fresh experience every visit.
