The Art of Hosting in the Chairman Suite

You’re planning an event. Perhaps a corporate soiree, a product launch, or an elaborate scheme to convince your team that yes, those quarterly reports can be exciting. Where do you host it? You could go with the usual – some drab conference room with weak coffee and a wonky projector. Or, you could channel your inner Logan Roy from HBO’s Succession and choose a setting that screams power, prestige, and success. 

Enter the Chairman Suite at Cordis Auckland. This isn’t just a venue – it’s a statement. And speaking of Succession, which I have become quite obsessed about lately, fellow fans might remember when Kendall staged his coup against his own dad. That’s the kind of bold audacity that seems right at home in the Chairman Suite.

At 252.6 square metres, the Chairman Suite is not just big – it’s colossal. It’s the kind of space that says, “Yes, we’re here to talk business, but we’re also here to enjoy ourselves.” And with it being the penthouse of a 17-storey tower, the views are as expansive as the square footage. The suite offers sweeping views of the Auckland skyline, as if to say, “Look at all the companies not being taken over right now.” 

 

As soon as you step through the door, your eyes are drawn to the majestic Rangitoto Island, while Mt. Eden elegantly graces the horizon from the bathroom view. The Auckland city skyline, seen from the bedroom and living room, gives you a sense of being on top of the world, both literally and figuratively. And fittingly, the suite greets you with a stunning lightbox installation of clouds. A nice metaphor for profit-soaring sky-high projections.

But the Chairman Suite is more than just a pretty view. It’s also a masterclass in luxury and functionality. For the fashion-conscious, there’s a massive walk-in wardrobe ready to house your corporate couture. An outdoor fire-pit on the balcony offers a warm retreat for a breath of fresh air between power moves, while the large living and dining area, complete with a butler’s kitchen, ensures you and your guests are well catered for.

The bedroom, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, is a haven of calm amidst the corporate storm, while the marble bathroom, featuring a standalone circular tub, adds a touch of spa-like tranquillity to the suite.

But let’s talk business – the suite is more than aesthetics. The Chairman Suite is designed for versatility, like a business chameleon if you will. It adapts to your needs, whether you’re holding a formal board meeting or hosting a cocktail soiree that’s ‘casually’ about mergers and acquisitions.

Picture this: a ten-seat dining table, perfect for a meeting with your ‘henchmen’ (I mean, esteemed colleagues). But then, shift gears, and you’re in a more relaxed setting for a networking event. The space can comfortably host up to 18 people. And, oh, that balcony. It’s the perfect spot for sharing a toast and telling hilarious anecdotes about your journey to success that only you seem to find funny.

 

 

And in terms of amenities the Chairman Suite has left no stone unturned. Catering? Check. Audio-visual equipment? Check. Theming? Double-check. The Cordis Auckland’s event team will organise it all and even allow you to take the credit. You can customise everything to the letter, or just kick back and leave it to the pros. Either way, you’ll be left looking like the host with the most.

The pricing is as competitive as a Roy family game of ‘Boar on the Floor’, with packages starting at $2,000. It’s not exactly chump change, but then again, you’re not hosting a gathering for chumps. This is for the big leagues.

Finally, for those feeling a bit like Cousin Greg after a long day of power plays and strategic manoeuvring, the Cordis Auckland offers on-site guestrooms. And let’s face it, after a full day of playing corporate chess in a space as posh as the Chairman Suite, settling for a ride home in a cab just won’t cut it.

Whether you’re a corporate magnate, an ambitious entrepreneur, or just someone who appreciates the finer things in life, the Chairman Suite is a venue that commands respect and admiration. The Chairman Suite at Cordis Auckland is where size meets style, luxury meets functionality, and business meets pleasure. And of course: in the game of corporate success, it’s not just what you do, it’s where you do it.
