Traditional Blessing for The Hotel Britomart Ahead of its 1 October Opening
18 September 2020
Before dawn, invited guests and team members gathered beside Chris Bailey’s artwork Pou Tū Te Rangi in the courtyard linking Te Ara Tāhuhu and Galway Street, then passed through the hotel in small groups to bless each of its spaces. Members of our hotel team joined in the Karakia incantations, which are traditionally used to increase spiritual goodwill.
On behalf of Hotel Manager, Clinton Falrley and the team, we give our thanks to Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei for honouring us with this ceremony.
Ko te Whiro te Rangi
Ko te Ōuenuku te Marama
Ko Hotu ngā Tau i Muri
Kia Oho
Kia Mataara.
A new phase begins
This is a time where we establish long-lasting friendships
The most favoured time to produce the benefits for our future generations
Rise up
Be steadfast.
TFE Hotels Chief Operating Officer, Chris Sedgwick said TFE was incredibly proud to share this sneak peek of this stunning and sustainable hotel – New Zealand’s first 5 Green Star Hotel – and looked forward to welcoming our New Zealand friends through our doors in a few short days.
