I spent three nights at the Art Hotel with great rooms, lovely service and I would recommend for singles and couples who want to be near everything but still have piece and quiet and with the bonus of free parking and full breakfast service.

Ponsonby is a true gem. It’s filled with character, quirkiness, and care. If you’re interested in something unique, and a short walk from a ton of restaurants and shops, I highly recommend the ArtHotel.
