Overview

Rating
Located in the centre of picturesque Napier, this luxurious 5-star hotel is located in the center of the Art Deco Precinct. Originally built for the Hawke’s Bay County Council in 1909, The County Hotel is one of only two significant buildings to have survived the massive 1931 earthquake. The hotel presents a charming Edwardian Art Deco grandeur, preserving its elegant heritage. Rooms at the County Hotel are elegantly designed and offer antique furnishings. They each include a TV with satellite and Netflix channels, air conditioning, a work desk and tea/coffee making facilities. Dine in the multi award winning Wine Street Restaurant or enjoy a drink in the quaint Churchill's Champagne & Snug Bar with a superb selection of wine, single malt whiskey, cocktails and of course champagne. Dine in multi award winning Churchills Lounge Bar & Restaurant, open Thursday to Saturday from 5pm. Enjoy a drink from our extensive beverage selection and sample plates from our delicious à la carte menu. Please make a reservation should you wish to dine with us to avoid disappointment. The County Hotel is near many local attractions, including the Cape Kidnappers International golf course, Ocean Spa Pools, and the famous Hawke’s Bay Vineyards.
