We are proud to be bringing Rydges Tauranga to the heart of Tauranga’s city centre, delivering a new premium accommodation and hospitality destination for the Bay of Plenty.

Located just 50 metres from Tauranga’s waterfront promenade, Rydges Tauranga will strengthen the region’s accommodation offering and help meet the growing demand for both business and leisure travellers. Positioned within one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing cities, the hotel has been designed to provide a contemporary and vibrant destination that reflects the character and energy of the region.

Following a competitive operator selection process, EVT Hotels & Resorts has been appointed to operate the hotel under the highly regarded Rydges brand. EVT’s extensive experience in hotel management and commitment to creating destinations that celebrate their local communities made them the ideal partner for the project.

Tauranga, meaning “place of rest or anchorage” in Maori, continues to experience significant population and economic growth. As the gateway to a thriving visitor economy and home to New Zealand’s largest commercial port, Tauranga presents an exciting opportunity for a world-class hotel development that will support the city’s future growth and enhance its hospitality offering.

Upon completion, Rydges Tauranga will provide a high-quality accommodation, conferencing and hospitality experience for visitors and locals alike, while contributing to the continued revitalisation and growth of Tauranga’s city centre.
