Sydney, Australia – 10 June 2022: Four Points by Sheraton, Auckland will re-open to business and leisure guests on June 10, following two years of travel disruption due to the global pandemic. Offering spacious accommodation and exceptional service, the hotel, located in the heart of the Auckland CBD reopens following a major revitalisation of all hotel amenities including guest rooms, meeting spaces, restaurants, bars and communal spaces.

Paul Gallop, General Manager for the Four Points by Sheraton, Auckland, said, “The team are fired up and ready to welcome our valued guests from around the world back to Four Points by Sheraton, Auckland. Following an extensive refresh of the entire property, we are delighted to return to our usual operations providing business and leisure travellers with the timeless style and comfort along with the anticipatory first-class service that Four Points is renowned for.”

The refurbishments, supported by the original design team at Statement ID and Studio design, include a complete refresh of all 255 guest rooms and suites including replacement of all fixtures and fittings, new bedding and linen, paintwork and new case goods.

In the public areas and conference and meeting spaces, all finishes have been renewed along with new carpets and paintwork to create a fresh new look and feel, full replacement of all air filters and ducts and new lift interiors.

The culinary refresh at The Churchill, Auckland's highest luxury rooftop gin and cocktail bar located on the 20th floor, has been fully redecorated and an exciting new menu unveiled.

The Churchill offers spectacular unrivalled panoramic views of the city. Boasting nearly 200 gin styles, the bar presents a specially curated and luxurious Sir Winston Churchill themed cocktail menu, highlighting spirits and flavours from around the globe.

New Head Chef at The Churchill, Bradley Stone, has created an elevated dining experience to complement the outstanding 10/10/10 gin and cocktail offering. The 10/10/10 menu allows guests to curate their bespoke gin by selecting one of 10 from each gin section, along with artisan mixers and specifically curated botanicals - presented in burgundy wine glasses over ice.

The Queen's Head Bar & Eatery reopens with an exciting new seasonal menu, along with the 300 sqm of contemporary event and function space and 24-hour fitness centre.

We are all very much looking forward to welcoming back guests this week,” said Paul Gallop.
