We loved out stay at the Hilton on Princes Wharf. We booked a balcony view room and were given a room on the recently renovated 8th (top) floor. Definitely recommend securing that floor if you can as I believe that's the one floor thus far that's been fully renovated. The room was big, bright and felt brand new. Big balcony with spectacular views, big spa-like bathroom with freestanding soaking tub and great products. We liked that we had a Nespresso machine so we could make our own lattes in the morning. Service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. Good breakfast and a lunch one day at the restaurant Fish. Location is great, a quick walk out to shopping and a huge selection of restaurants at the Viaduct and Britomart. Our last day a big cruise ship came in and moored right next to the hotel, obstructing part of our view - didn't worry us and the hotel had warned us in advance but something to be aware of.
