A new Sudima Hotel of up to 200 rooms has been announced for Auckland's CBD today, just two days after plans came to light for a 225-room Indigo Hotel in the city desperate for accommodation - and the latest hotel will have a low tolerance of plastic. Sudesh Jhunjhnuwala, the Auckland-based founder of the Sudima national chain, said his latest block would be developed on the corner of Nelson St and Wellesley St near the NZ International Convention Centre. "It will have 180-200 rooms pending final design, a gym, a rooftop bar and a separate restaurant and bar. The hotel is scheduled for opening in the summer of 2019/2020," his statement said.

The footpaths are so inconsistent. I'd rather the money being spent on the big 'flagship' projects at the moment had instead been spent on general streetscape improvements around the CBD.

Auckland Council seem to lurch from one big project to the next without ever considering all of the little things that need fixing.

Even the flagship projects are in a dire state.

St Patrick’s Square is a car park and has been one for many years. No one seems to be able to make an impact. Even the councillors or local board members.

Tree replacement on Fort Street, Freyberg Square and Vulcan Lane is very very slow. If they do end up planting something it’s often a piddly little tree that gets trampled a couple of weeks later. Back to square one. Some trees on Chancery Lane never got replanted years after the grand opening of the project.

And the paving rarely gets washed. Te Komititanga has already started to stain.

This is a weird one to me - I live near Khartoum Place and they wash it probably once a month or month and a half (so I assume they wash most places that often) but it still stains super quickly. Is it just the type of paving that Auckland has used everywhere is just not very stain resistant? On a side note, during L4 last year it went a few months without a proper clean and while there wasn't much human-caused staining, I was surprised at the impact of the pigeons and the falling leaves - you really can't get away with washing less than they currently do.
