Abstract Hotel, its latest arrival, only adds to its eclectic charm.
Visionary developer Nigel McKenna has infused the area
with new energy through this strikingly modern space that
simultaneously embraces both urban amenity and creative
edginess. Within the hotel, Alla Prossima restaurant brings the
rich yet subtle flavours of Emilia-Romagna to Auckland, while
Sa-Ni Spa elevates the art of relaxation with award-winning
Thai wellness experiences.
Nestled inside Abstract Hotel, Alla Prossima is more than just
another Italian restaurant – it’s a love letter to Emilia-Romagna,
one of Italy’s most revered culinary regions. Known as the land
of slow food and fast cars, the region is home to Parmigiano
Reggiano, aged balsamic vinegar, Prosciutto di Parma, and
traditional hand-rolled pasta – all of which take centre stage on
Alla Prossima’s menu.
Step into Sa-Ni Massage and Spa, and the bustle of K’ Road
fades into a distant memory. In just six months, this urban oasis
– housed within Abstract Hotel – has already garnered three
prestigious World Luxury Spa Awards, securing its place among
the region’s most elite wellness retreats. At the heart of Sa-Ni
is co-founder and director, Sarisa Nasinprom, whose vision
was to bring authentic Thai wellness to Auckland in a setting
of unparalleled refinement. Every element, from the aromatic
essential oils to the custom-designed interiors, has been
meticulously curated to deliver a truly immersive experience.
