About Art Deco Masonic Hotel

We welcome you to discover the charm and history of the iconic Art Deco Masonic Hotel, and of world-famous Art Deco Napier.

Heritage & History

Overlooking the Pacific and set in the heart of Art Deco Napier, Art Deco Masonic Hotel is a boutique icon, rich in character, history, and timeless style. Established on this site in 1861, the hotel has evolved through fire, earthquakes, and transformation to become one of Napier’s most cherished landmarks. The current Art Deco building, constructed in 1932 after the devastating 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake, was designed by W. J. Prowse and retains the elegant symmetry and craftsmanship of the era.

Prime Location

Situated opposite the MTG Hawke's Bay and steps from Napier’s iconic Art Deco precinct, the hotel offers the perfect base to explore the city’s architecture, culture, and coastal beauty.
