Jucy is opening a new pod hotel in the Auckland CBD. Capable of accommodating more than 466 visitors per night, the four-storey hotel will consist of a mix of pod style accommodation as well as ensuite rooms.
A unique part of Jucy Snooze Auckland is that unlike other hotels in the chain, this will be targeted specifically at the business market.
“The main target will be millennial budget tourists who may travel by themselves, as a couple or part of a larger group. Typically, they make a base in Auckland for a few days before leaving to tour the rest of the country," said Jucy CEO Tim Alpe.
Located on the corner of Cook and Nelson Street, the hotel is taking advantage of the SkyCity Convention Centre and the upcoming New Zealand International Convention Centre which will both be within walking distance.
“The new Jucy Snooze Auckland will provide a cost-effective way to do this and at the same time offer networking opportunities for guests when they utilise the shared space with other like-minded companies – including the relocated head office of Jucy itself.”
The design of the hotel is influenced by learnings from Jucy’s Christchurch and Queenstown hotels.
“The Auckland CBD site will feature double pods, more common spaces as well as our coworking concept which will be called Jucy Share.”
The site will also offer facilities to guests and the other visitors to hire meeting rooms by the hour.
The hotel will hire about 30 staff and will house a new retail centre as well as a Miss Lucy’s pizzeria and bar.
