Prince's Gate Boutique Hotel

Prince's Gate is a mainstream boutique hotel in an older building at 1057 Arawa Street, near the Government Gardens. It has thermal pools, a fireplace lounge and two restaurants. There's no gay-specific offer, and the sauna guests mention is an ordinary hotel one. It rates 4.1 on Google from about 1,150 reviews. People like the old-world feel, the suites and the beds, and some of the lower scores are about the age of the building. The lakefront and the city centre are both walkable from here.
