Accommodation Near Vector Arena

Situated in the heart of the Auckland CBD, one of New Zealand's multi-function venues, the Vector Arena is a superb venue for entertainment functions. The Arena is also close to Auckland City Hotels, Restaurants, Public transport such as the Britomart Train Station, Viaduct Harbour, Ferry Terminal at the Waterfront, Auckland City for Shopping, and other Auckland City Attractions. Exhibitions, Conventions, Banquets, Ballets, Opera, Netball, Family Shows, Hospitality functions (with private suites), and of course International music concerts from prominent entertainment celebrities can and have performed within it's premises.

Fortunately several Hotels are adjacent for accommodation, so as to easily attend functions held at the Arena. You may have to book a hotel room early if you intend a function, and perhaps become familiar with the surrounding area (Browse the above Google map with Earth view of the City), and browse the official Vector Arena Website for upcoming events, concerts, hospitality and venue hire or inquiries.

There are hotels and other accommodation venues that are "nearby", with perhaps 1 - 15 minute drive time (depending on traffic), and maybe 1 - 20 minutes walk time, with "local city" hotel distances of less than 1 km to about 2.5 km. But maybe prepare a little beforehand when traveling to and from the Arena -

- Familiarize yourself with the local area, including your hotel's, and perhaps map out the shortest journey. Remember the street address name of your hotel, adjacent landmarks, and a few street names
- Pedestrian and street traffic can be very busy at times, so factor that in, to allow a suitable time frame for your journey
- Maybe browse the Google Map at the top, which has 3D Earth View (you may need to download the plug-in), and a photo icon of the Vector Arena to try get a sense of placement
- Their might be "street alerts", i.e. road closures, e.g. road works, construction activities, hazard incidents, etc, that you may want to be aware of. I think the Auckland City Council Site (http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/) or the Queen Street Online web site (http://www.queenstreet.co.nz/) has a alert system
- Perhaps browse Auckland Web Cam Traffic internet sites (e.g. NZ Transport Agency, or All Auckland Motorways Cameras) by searching on Google
- Hotel management may have a journey prearranged package, advice, and contact details, which you should ask about
- Let someone know of your absence, and a contact number (e.g. mobile phone), at least with the hotel lobby
- If new to NZ, remember for all emergencies dial 111, not 911. It's 111. Most NZ emergencies relate to Ambulance, Fire, and Police services.
- For public transport, check out the Maxx Website, which has major routes for major local land and water based transport. Perhaps download time tables, if you do not know the streets. The travel routes include maps and route diagrams, with estimated times, and street address at most bus stops.

Also perhaps click on the "show search options" next to Search Maps tab, then click on the user-created maps to view personal maps - which may display useful landmarks, shops, and other features and facilities. Then enter or re-enter your search (local) terms to try get relevant information.
